Affordance
An affordance has been defined as an advantage of using technology, but this is a little simplistic. An affordance may be better understood not as a function of the technology, but what it is done for, i.e. a function of a blog is to write and publish, but the affordance is to connect and interact with a globally distributed network. In this sense, we put the tool in the background and focus on the human element.
