Technology is catalogued as an ancestral resource of the human species, this has always been linked to different ways of building implements and means of communication. Since the Bronze Age or the Iron Age, fire has been attributed with the ability to create utensils and tools to work the land, but going back much further, fire and its conservation was a technology that could be catalogued as communal, since it allowed the proximity of different communities and their members and thus socialize experiences among them.
Fire brought with it technological applications of great impact and relevance, as it was used for pottery, the mastery of metallic materials, cooking food to extend its durability, among others. This technology was undoubtedly a paradigm in which language and communication were strengthened around it, and even collective rules were created to solve problems and thus maintain a stable social organization.
Returning to the present and taking advantage of the fact that COVID-19 has generated a worldwide commotion in the desire to develop a vaccine to control or eradicate this disease, technology is presented as the only alternative capable of reversing this collective problem. Based on this, we have been able to contemplate how technology in a broad digital and non-digital sense has generated a great impact on the world society as it has collaborated with the coverage of relational, affective and community needs.
In conclusion, we could say that community technology is developed in environments of experiences and experiences of each community to solve collective problems and thus be able to improve their capabilities and opportunities to meet their needs. Needs related to communication, comfort, security, transportation, health, make technology more and more part of large collectives or communities for their development.
