used in Ancient Greece the term techne to explain the ability, skills, skills can be learned, in short, be understanding something. This is the word that caused the our of "technical" and shares the above meaning, according Blummenberg and Gadamer. The technique involves a system today, a device that enables us to fit into the world of work in the world of production. But this training is more a characterization as the person becomes a title and nothing else, the value depends even purchased the school in which the individual has been formed, as well as a tennis or watch it according to the company that has been made. The technique is all the objects that work around us as artifacts, including other human beings. I dare say that the only difference is that for the Greeks was the man (not women, according to their culture) that had the art, some art, today, by contrast, is the technique that tames the men and women, is the technique which orders and explains face reality, to get into this subject, I should make the link with the film.
In the film "Modern Times" by Charlie Chaplin, one can see very well the impact that caused the industrial revolution in humanity, both in the conception of the world, such as how humans relate. To begin with companies and factories originated a new type of relationship: the employer and employee, when trade relations were once-a few unfavorable business but ultimately, "other relationships that existed, and with sorrow of others, there - are having to do with slavery. But to return to the revolution industrial not only opened the doors to modern times but has made a turn in which human beings are to be people-individuals to be classified as a "place" in a factory, "a card" of employee clocked the input and output, "a number" in the table, or a sub-employee or return there, as many cleaners in factories or in the residences. This reflects very well the movie when comedian Charlie plan runs out of the factory but was returned because it was agreed to be marked on the control card every time he goes as this involves a termination of employment, ie there is no money to pay the Cane employee number "x". And that is precisely the technique gives us an understanding of the world and new technologies, the first set and determined to humanity-hence the technique has ontological depth and the second is the "caramelito" that we will "sweetening" to pass us by the throat, the bitter pill of the technical configuration of the human being.
Another issue I want to play is about the health consequences that come with developing a specific job, for example those working in cash in banks (and all people who have to type all day a keyboard) get to suffer hands syndrome "carpal tunnel" which basically cripples them hand it estirárseles tendons and caused a painful condition since the tendons to swell obstructing the carpal tunnel that "protects the median nerve. The median nerve gives you feeling in the thumb, index, middle and ring fingers. But when other tissues such as ligaments and tendons in the carpal tunnel become swollen or inflamed, they press the median nerve. That pressure can make part of your hand hurt or feel numb. "1 I bring this subject up because the film is noted, always humorous way, problems causing technical advances in the health of the person where the man stops working and his body had spent much time in a particular movement it takes to make that move even when not working. In other words, well we're in the era of mass production in the era of speed and labor efficiency, but bad that we are receiving new illnesses such as shared website:
"... as it is in the work environment where exposure to certain agents is usually more intense and therefore more likely to produce disease. Some examples of this situation are the silicosis, lung disease affecting miners, industry workers and potters from exposure to silica dust, the scrotal cancer in chimney sweeps in conjunction with the soot neurological disorders in the potters for the use of lead-based products or bone disorders in workers industry through the exhibition match to match. Many of these processes captured the attention during the Industrial Revolution in the nineteenth century. "
can not be reduced to the modern man only serves to make things, objects (homo faber), but broadening the view that man is also "homo ludens", it's transcendental, utopian because within this perception of the man who plays it shows eagerness in production without competition, where you get the fun not as product but as a spontaneous result. But as the competitive spirit is characteristic of man is through the technique which gives meaning to modernity, as defined primarily as a manipulable, quantifiable, measurable, controllable, disposable, replaceable, meaning that everything can be organized and planned. Things that are there in the world can be stored, and then apply the "use and throw away", this mentality is as perverse, conveys a very low value to all human activity, is like cutting the amazement and awareness, appreciation and admiration for the work done by others, this too is a step of "desensitization" to art, poetry. Now everything is manufactured easily and is available in the market. This brings me to another point I want to refer.
mass production, very well illustrated in the film when they decide to increase the rate of production on several occasions, is a consequence of the process of modernization, since there are now many opportunities to purchase a product (artifact: any work done with manual a purpose or specific technical function), ie the "use and throw away" is a manifestation of consumerism in which we are involved. This serial production has a dynamic background that is not neutral, but is the product of subjectivity, so he secretly a disguised form of political rule, where "art" is a political ideology. In the text "Science and Technology as Ideology" of Habermas, is presented to it as "technocracy" that gives you control that men seek the forces and facts of nature, human beings need to master to meet their primary needs subsistence and then establishes the empirical-analytic from the technical interest. This imposes a dictatorship consumer comfort and easy: the human being ceases to be reason for technology to be reduced to self-erected on the technocratic society. Which according to Max Weber's theory should be called "rationalization" which leads to a disenchantment of the world:
"technical civilization and scientific and instrumental rationality can be called the rationalization process which leads to disenchantment of the world, ie there are no values, gods, mysteries, magic, no sense of transcendence, because what we are made likely, efficiency results. This process of streamlining the moving forces that are not rational, such as Auschwitz is at the top of the scientific but it is irrational, because behind it was the will of power. "
