Human beings need tools to influence their environment and modify it according to their needs. Tools that have evolved in parallel with our own social, industrial, economic and technological evolution. With the appearance of new systems of technological knowledge, information exchange and communication systems, the so-called ICTs, a new need has been imposed: the creation and constant updating of a language that can serve as a translator, an interpreter between our wishes and those of own technological systems, alien to direct action.
