A lot of the 20th century thought on modernity is based on a negative view that gained its expression from Max Webers theory of rationalisation. According to him, modernity is made because of the increasing role of calculation and control in society. He regarded this later as the "iron cage"
This idea of "enslavement" encourages negative "philosophies of technology" saying that humans have become parts of a machines, which serves in the same way as raw materials and the natural enviroment.
