Such technological deterministic models characterized information technologies as tools to be installed and used with a pre-determined set of impacts on society which are dictated by the technologys stated capabilities.
Since real systems (unlike deterministic models) tend to be subject to random background noise, an unstable steady state solution is unlikely be observed in practice.
However, the two methods are related as the results of deterministic models is the average of all the possible non-unique solutions of stochastic methods.
