From a historical perspective, it is not difficult to see that STS mainly originated from two different knowledge beginnings, which also led to this situation qualitatively. After the development from 197s to 198s, STS has more clearly presented these two research traditions. The former attracts the participation of scientists and engineers engaged in practical research and other social groups, and presents a variety of topics and research approaches. While the latter is far away from the early STS lovers in the more profound academic pursuit [1]. Nevertheless, their unremitting exploration has opened up a new development direction for STS research and provided new ideological and theoretical resources.
