6. There exists a large literature on the invention of technological systems - arrangements far larger and more complex than the single machine and its operators. A major theoretician and historian of this subject is Thomas P. Hughes; see, for example, Hughes T: "The evolution of large technological systems," in Wiebe E, et al., eds.: The Social Construction of Technological Systems: New Directions in the Sociology and History of Technology. Cambridge, MA, MIT Press, 1987, pp. 51-82. For the invention of other "special care units" in hospitals, see Hilberman M: "The evolution of intensive care units." Critical Care Medicine 3:159-165, 1975; and Fairman J: "Watchful vigilance: nursing care, technology, and the development of intensive care units." Nursing Research 41:56-60, 1992.
