This production addresses the literature review carried out in a doctoral research with the theme “Education and Technology”, to demonstrate that the Internet has significant political implications. The study has a theoretical nature, with a qualitative approach and a phenomenological justification, based on the contributions of Bicudo (2011), whose theoretical framework runs through the works of Feenberg (1986; 1995; 2010; 2017), Feenberg and Barney (2003), Feenberg and Friesen (2012) and Marx (2004; 2008). It is noted that human action, and not technology, will decide the future of the Internet, because when technologies are understood as terrains of struggle, and not as fixed and finished elements, they are disqualified and exposed to criticism and transformation. Thus, the most innovative aspect of the Internet is the ability to support a collective reflection on the interests of participants in all areas of life
