Abstract

An understanding of the role of technology in the genesis of the human species and as a key resource for humanity sums up the obvious. However, it ignores the reasons for the emergence of technology and the close, special relationship between man and technology. Psychological and social factors seem to underlie the trajectories of technological development, as well as the specificity of artificial objects as experienced by humans.
