Abstract

The relationship of people with technological artifacts is historically continu-ous from the origins of humanity. This mutual relationship has always been a dual con-sideration of technological objects, which are imagined ambivalently. One of the essen-tial ambivalence about technology is its utopian or dystopian consideration. Analyzingsome of the most important ambivalences in that sense, I try to show that technology isconstitutively ambivalent, because it reflects its creator, who is an ambivalent and con-tradictory being.
