However, it is being held back in two ways: on the one hand, by a managerial conception of responsibility centred on anticipating the future consequences of technical development, which

What if programmed obsolescence, which is integrated into many commercial products in order to encourage the renewal of purchases, brings with it the disappearance of man as an individual endowed with qualities that allow him to interact with objects, and with others, other than by consuming them?
