The man is a historical, social and cultural, and since ancient times, brings to mind a constant intellectual development. Each time, science has a new technology, with each new technology appears, a new step towards dehumanization, which is why the ego has become the center of being, and people day after day moving away from each other, giving way to coldness, incompaixão, and the homo-virtualis. So much for "progress."

The triggering factor of this paradigm is that, after thousands of years living in the cave, the man migrates to life in society by establishing the first villages that tells the story. And since then, opened the great scientific race, marking the culmination of changes in the way of life of the species. In short order, I was indeed, the "progress" was everywhere: in industry, schools, people. Achieving a higher state was ideal, transcending the limits of knowledge was the order.

Nowadays, thanks to science and technology - the promoters of "progress" - the aircraft manufacturing industry, full of people who fall into the oceans. Scientists trained in modern schools create weapons of mass destruction. People who once lived in villages within easy reach, live in luxury apartments or houses surrounded by large walls. The personal contact, this is gradually being replaced by phone, e-mails and other resources from the virtual world. So the question that sounds striking is this really "progress"?

The technology is the fruit of science, and this in turn, the result of man. This time, we see a reversal of values: we use the technology for life, not the technology to life, triggering this process, the depreciation of human principles, such as family, friends, hug, and even a handshake. It is known that if the man is really progressing or not, is the subject of much discussion in the political, economic and / or religious. But the fact is, that if such "progress" continues, soon, the technology is who will our history.
