Abstract
TRAPPED INSIDE THE MACHINE. TECHNO-ANTHROPOLOGY
The aim of this article is to pose the question of who is the man in a
world steeped in technology. Currently, through the significant growth
of the Internet, we are in the middle of the road leading to the
connection of all people in the world in one nervous system. Machines
are the most important teachers of man. Not only in terms of learning
specific things, but also in the sense that the role of the teacher
described by Max Weber — in communicating our knowledge about
how to be a man. With some caution we can say that the machines
define human form of contact with other people. In conclusion, the
author of the article considers the question of human nature in the light
of such phenomena as the collective consciousness in the network,
technological development and biohacking. The author introduces the
concept of „machines” meaning the virtual body, computers, credit
cards, terminals, camera, internet, networks, software, satellite and
fiber optics. These are all elements merged in the „machine” that
creates human behavior.
