Social Work in the Era of Technological Modernization
Social Work in the Era of Technological Modernization

Summary/Abstract: In the history of the various professions, there is at least one entry in the subject: the social service. The culture of the environment and the fears aroused by computerization led to the subject being approached through its "managerial" and political aspects concerning social services before considering the tools and the more "pedagogical", cultural and ultimately insertion, in the different dimensions of the term. It is interesting to see that it is not from the same angle that social workers are approached by new technologies (and approach them themselves). This is now an issue of acting on a double level, namely the construction of citizenship on the one hand, and professionalism on the other. The development of computerization, information, communication, associated technologies, their consequences and derived products is an achievement and it is binding all the sectors of society. It is enrichment for the citizens, for the professionals, for the institutions, but it is not limitless.
