Resumen: [EN] In an era of ubiquitous presence of several formats of technology throughout all areas ofhuman interaction, it seems pertinent to assess the complete spectrum of possible impactssuch technologies may have: not just the good, but the bad and the ugly too. Scientificresearch has been substantial on its efforts to map technology’s benefits from which humansmay profit on a myriad of activities. This is particularly evident in recent fields of study, suchas gamification applications to marketing, education or business. However, it could beargued that in-depth analysis of potential nefarious impacts of technology use is currentlylacking. In this paper, we perform a systematic review of contributions from top scientificpublications over the last fifteen years in search of their concerns over the implementationand usage of technology, to gather proof that this is a promising study field, which deservesfurther study. Due to the limited literature and empirical evidence on the topic, this studycontributes to better understand of nefarious impacts and limitations of technology.
