It is often argued that technology is neutral. Even in the academic world there is still debate today whether it incorporates intrinsic moral values or whether, instead, it all depends on the use that is made of it.

It will be also discussed why and how Media Education should consider this assumption and include it in its repertoire as a first principle that guides every other reflection and transmittable skill in favor of a conscientization and literacy which it aims to achieve.
