Resumo:
Technology has held an important role in XX century. This role was analyzed by Herbert
Marcuse that, among other points, has treated the very nature of this technology. Technology
is one of the key concepts of Marcuse’s thought, since he explains how the relationship
between technology and society occurs. Furthermore, it is worth pointing out the importance
that technology has for the mechanization of life, providing an easier way to live, on the one
hand, but on the other, absorbing any desire for significant changes in the unequal course of
the distribution of socially produced wealth. With this, Marcuse offers us an opportunity to
reflect about this acculturation that directly affects people's quality of life.
