Abstract
The purpose of this writing is to explore ways of changing the relatio nship of workers with technology from one of oppression to one of libe ration. By studying some of the most common aspects of those relations hips, and Heidegger's reflections on the topic, a new way to relate to technology is proposed. This way is basically related with the way we conceive work and thought, and how these conceptions are oppressive b y being constricted to exaction of productivity and not to the whole o f human interests.
