Sociedad digital, sociedad dual.

Far from working-class and peasant struggles against machines and closer to the worries and never-ending debates of the late 80's in the 20th century, herein we focus on the microelectronic and telematic revolutions in the midst of a society that purports to seduce itself and us with the development and growth of digital technologies and intelligent devices; we find it timely to review the pros and cons of what we can call digital dualism, a state of affairs loaded with innovations, statistics, and tendencies that underwrite some sort of technological optimism. This paper raises questions and explores lines of debate which attempt to stray from the techno-phobia and/or the technophilia which has characterized so many debates on the field.
