In today’s technological society, technology seems to update and progress all the time, technical design and application of a variety of endless armed people’s lives, improve people’s living standards, but ubiquitous technology has also led to the emergence of various social problems, what is the force behind exactly? Early in the 19th century, Marx discussed the technology from the perspective of capital logic, Marx once said:"Capital generates surplus value by machine". Today, the rapid development technology is still driven by capital desire behind. Expanding nature of capital has not only brought great technological development and ubiquitous space expansion, but also lead to a variety of unexpected drawbacks. Therefore, inquiry Marx thought in capital logic perspective, can provide theoretical basis and practical guidance for real technical problems.This paper consists of four parts:The first part is the basic understanding of the Marx technical concepts and capital logic theory. Including the Marx technical idea’s generated background, basic concepts and history of formation, at the same time make a initial interpretation of the capital concept and capital logic theory, which is the basis of the writing of this paper.The second part is understanding technology at an angle of Marx’s theory of the logic capital. First make a historical logic analysis at the relationship between Marx’s capital and technology, and then focus on the interaction of capital and technology under the logic of capital, which is the key part of this paper.The third part, technology alienation and abandoned under the logic of capital.
