ABSTRACT: Technology affordances are a method for technology users to carry out actions based on the possibilities provided by a certain technology. In order to systematically grasp the research hotspots and evolution of technology affordances at home and abroad, and clarify the characteristics and development direction of technology affordances research in China, we use CiteSpace software to visualize and analyze the research literature on technology affordances at home and abroad. The research results of technology affordances at home and abroad are increasing, and the number of scholars who have researched technology affordances is large, but the cooperation among authors is generally scattered; among foreign research on technology affordances, information technology, knowledge technology, artificial intelligence, digital technology and web 2.0 are the hot spots of research; among domestic research on technology affordances, the connotation of technology affordances, social media, interaction design and user purchase are the hotspots; there are differences in the research frontiers of technology affordances research at home and abroad, but they all focus on the field of social media.
