Our goal in this essay is to discuss, from a Marxian-Lukacsian approach, the unilateral appropriation of technological application of science that is carried out as by academics focused to the conventional production technologies as by theorists that deny in the name of construction of a new technology, called social technology. Thus, we argue that the technology in itself is not a producer of an economic inequality that culminates in the so-called social exclusion and an inclusion would require a refutation of scientific-technological knowledge accumulated historically. By identifying possible theoretical limitations relating to 'social technology' and that according to its theoretical matrix, it is opposed to a 'conventional technology', we intend to show the necessity of an appropriation of technology that has in its epistemological basis its the direct connection to the ontology of the social being according to Marx and Lukács.
