Abstract :
Philosophy makes attempts to counteract the adverse consequences of a technology-based civilisation, including in the area of manpsilas psychological environment. Philosophers rely on the Prometheus myth to diagnose and set the directions of therapy (through immediate association with HCI and virtual reality). The weight of responsibility is not always experienced at the individual level, yet some communities should feel obliged to at least reflect on the concept of social responsibility/investment. In this article, the authors promote the development of a matrix of past, present and future effects of HCI experiments for own use.
