This article covers some of the discussions proposed by Rafael Capurro, the Uruguayan philosopher resident in Germany, about the emergence of a digital ontology in Latin America, and the problems it generates in the absence of research that allows understanding what is happening, and what may be its costs from the perspective of building moral action. The dialogue and conflict between the global and local spheres, the perception of neutrality with respect to digital devices, the paradigmatic weight of technologies and sciences that search computer developments, the pathologies associated with digital being, and the ethical problems it induces are the topics that this document discusses based on professor Capurro’s work.
