Summary/Abstract: The phenomenon of technique and technology applied to human life brings with itself many different perspectives from which we can look at the technique as the future salvation of mankind or, if we observe without prophetic vision, as currently advancing and facilitating the present life circumstances. In this paper, the author will try to clarify how the technique has influenced and influences the development of man and whether there is a real danger of catastrophic proportions if we allow the technique to go along step by step with man. When analyzing the above, we will use the relevant works of authors who have been researching the subject for the research: Nick Bostrom, Rebecca Roache, Wolfgang Velsch and Lewis Mumford.
