Abstract

Discussions about technical and technology abound, both in the philosophical field and in all areas of life. Technology crosses our daily life in a total way, it is part of us. Then, aware of this technological breakthrough, in this article we propose to discuss some analyse about the implications of the technology in capitalist societies. In order to do so, we will review the thesis of authors who realized the problem at different times: Herbert Marcuse, Jürgen Habermas and Andrew Feenberg. During the work, we will see how technique and technology serve to establish the existing state of things, however, in its own constitution are the preconditions for a change of that state of things. In this way in will be seen how in the three authors a political character appears in the use of technology, and how, in some way technology -along whit science- serves to create ideology. Whit all this on the table, the article will try to show how technology directly influences the lives of human beings, and under this influences is that it can either to control or to free us.
