Abstract
Inthispaper we analyze the cultural and commercial dynamics of the information society in relation to digital media. As many scholars point out, certain features of communication media can produce a type of cognitive regression that is expressed in new forms of ignoranceand conformism.Theseprocesses are very dangerous as they go frequently unnoticed under the non-critical optimism that characterizes digital utopias. We aim at demonstrating that these problems do not depend on technology itself but on the principles and foundations that govern our relationship with technology
