Intelligence Technologies • Technology is a broad concept that deals with a species' usage and knowledge of tools and crafts, and how it affects a species' ability to control and adapt to its environment. • Technologies amplify our motor, sensorial, intellectual capabilities. • Intelligence technologies amplify: • Our memory; • Our symbolic and reasoning capability; • Our imagination; • Our capability of expression and communication. WOP Psychology in cybercultureLeonel Tractenberg – LTC/NUTES/UFRJ
Intelligence Technologies • The distinction human x technology is a mistake: • “el mundo humano es, al mismo tiempo, tecnológico” (Lévy, 1993); • “es imposible separar lo humano de su ambiente material, así como de sus signos e imágenes por medio de los cuales el atribuye significado a su vida y a su mundo” (Lévy, 1993). • Man creates technologies that create man. Society is a product and a production of man and his tools. • Vygotsky and Piaget: shows how the manipulation of tools are important for developing our thinking structures and capabilities.
