Summary/Abstract: In this text, we are interested in two opposite processes proper to functioning in technological reality. The first is the anthropomorphization of machines, hence we problematize its causes and social consequences, on the other hand, the object of our interest is the opposite phenomenon – practically absent in theoretical reflection, which is the technomorphization of man. The article is of a metatheoretical nature, and its aim is to systematize knowledge about the anthropomorphization of machines, its causes and effects, as well as to define the concept of human technomorphization, to show the manifestations of technomorphic thinking and its consequences.
