"Education makes machines which act like men and produces men who act like machines." ~Erich Fromm

A pesar de que la educaci�n es la base del �xito en cuaquier aspecto, hoy en d�a la humanidad se ha valido de ella y del conocimiento para crear nuevas tecnolog�as las cuales ofrecen una comodidades tales como el ahorro de tiempo y esfuerzo para realizar nuestras tareas; sin embargo esto ha causado que el hombre ya no act�a a trav�s de reacciones nuevas, sino por respuestas inmediatas que son cuasadas por la cotidianeidad que existe en nuestras vidas.

"The real danger is not that computers will begin to think like men, but that men will begin to think like computers." ~Sydney

Hoy en d�a es indispensable el uso de las computadoras en nuestra vida ya que cuentan con la capacidad ilimitada de almacenar informaci�n, lo cual ha provocado que no nos preocupemos por agilizar nuestras actividades mentales. Actualmente el hombre no es capaz de memorizar ni siquera un n�mero telef�nico(un ejemplo vago) ya que depende totalmente de las m�quinas que lo rodean y que son f�ciles de adquirir teles como los tel�fonos celulares o agendas telef�nicas entre otros. As� pues yo dir�a que el hombre no tiende a pensar como computadora sino que el hombre deja que la computadora piense por �l.
