Abstract
Automation technology, as one of the culminating aspects of an assumed development of the technological concern of the human species has made possible to organize, in the time and in the space, the very complex co-ordination of many factors involved in tedious, wearisome, fatiguing, bothersome, dangerous, … and increasingly difficult and complicated operations, but it has been also, until now, the source of more and more serious global marginal effects (degradation of cultural values, retrogression of human relations deterioration of all kinds of natural environments) which make more and more paradoxical to deal with the evolvement of human affairs.
