Abstract

Technology is a fundamental dimension of societal change, which contributes effectively both to the evolution and to the shaping of a society through a complex interaction of cultural, economic, political, and technological producers. And, usually, the purpose of technology must be understood and defined within a multidimensional framework; it does not stop on its own, it has its own binary because of its capacity to shape its material structure, deployable and pervasive in a single space. As time passed in each of the last three centuries, a single technology prevailed: the 18th century was the era of large mechanical systems that accompanied the biomechanical revolution. The 19th century was the case of steaming, in the 20th century, the degeneration of technology with the installation of telephones, throughout the radio and television. Technological systems evolve gradually until a qualitative change occurs: a technological revolution heralds a technological example.
