Abstract: | Technology moves us to a better world. We contend that through technology people can simplify and solve moral tasks when they
are in presence of incomplete information and possess a diminished capacity to act morally. Many external things, usually
inert from the moral point of view, can be transformed into the so-called moral mediators. Hence, not all of the moral tools
are inside the head, many of them are shared and distributed in “external” objects and structures which function as ethical
devices.
