Digital technology is currently the tool of choice used among many other functions to serve as a backdrop for promoting wonder and amazement; however it has become popular without bringing with it knowledge of its technique much less access to it which can be called cyber or technological oppression (VIEIRA PINTO 2005 p. 27). Awe refers to causing astonishment or enchantment the admiration of human beings in relation to nature or their works. Amazement on the other hand translates into a kind of gratitude a sense of wonder astonishment a 'breathlessness' of social groups subordinate to dominant groups due to the technology made available. For Vieira Pinto (2005) amazement is provoked by the dominant classes to deceive the oppressed classes making them feel due to their technological backwardness that they are living in the best of all ages of human history because they have access to a given technology. And the wonderment of making them believe in the happiness of living in this time as if everyone participated equally in the technological era attributing to technical civilization an increase in value admiration and gratitude.
