Abstract

Abstract: This paper aims to offer a humanist approach to digital tecnology by asking: “Does digital technology increase or disminish the stature of man?”, “does it offer us a better reality or does it distort it?” Here I consider that digital tecnology distorts reality. Distorts human knowledge (epistemological distortion), the individual (antropological distortion) and the relationship with others (socio-political distortion). It might be a lead out to look at the gardener with his sense-based-knowledge, his pacience and his capacity to distinguish between what is given and what is built.
