    In this article, I will analyze the possibilities that new technologies present us with both to increase and to diminish existing social inequalities. I will examine the topic from a conceptual point of view taken from preexisting models of technological development and from the primary functions attributed to technological products. The educative intervention proposed in this paper is founded on the previous explanation, mainly because we understand that a wider knowledge of technology leads to a greater independence of its users from such devices so as to reach a more thorough personal and social development.
