技术在人们的认知和实践中一直是控制自然的手段。但随着全球性问题的加剧以及技术负面效应的突显,人们开始将技术作为被控制的对象。将技术作为被控制的对象,是历史发展的必然、是对技术异化的消解、是对人的主体性和工具理性反思的结果,也是技术哲学发展的最新阶段。将技术作为被控制的对象,有利于恢复文化与技术之间被破坏了的相互关系、缩短未来经济中的不确定性因素、响应人类未来命运的召唤、促进人的自由解放等。

Technology is always the instrumentality to control nature in humankind's cognition and practice. But it is getting worse along with the global problems and the negative effects of technology application, and people begin to treat technology as the controlled object. This is the history development inevitable, is the resisting to the technology alienation, is the result that introspects to the person's subjectivity and the tool-reasonableness and is the latest stage of philosophy of technology development. It is advantageous to rebuild the broken correlations between culture and technology, shorten the future indetermination factor in economy, respond to the vocation of mankind's destiny in the future and promote the person's freedom and liberation, etc.
