Abstract :
One of the problems raised by electromechanical developments in recent years is the impact of new machines and devices upon human behavior, the field with which the psychologist is primarily concerned. Although this situation is only the most recent chapter in a series of events occurring since man began using and then inventing tools, the rapid acceleration in the process has intensified the problem tremendously.
