Eurekadabra: Sciencie, technology and Magic
Journal Title: PAAKAT: Revista de Tecnología y Sociedad - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 16
Abstract
When faced with an event considered as magical, we are facing an event in which natural rules are apparently broken by the use of supernatural forces. Technology, on the other hand, helps us to break down the barriers of the human being's capacities, amplifying them to the point that they seem supernatural. This article aims to reflect on how advances in science and technology have made possible those events considered as magical and supernatural, and how they have been used historically to redefine the Word supernatural, and finally how magical effects can serve as a driving force for technological innovation.
