Abstract: We live in a world where everyone and everything are increasingly connected through digital channels, through Informatics and what it provides. Its products are developed mainly by humans, and for humans, with communication being essential in order for it to be possible to plan, execute and obtain useful and efficient results, meeting their destined goals.
Psychology assumes therefore a fundamental role, implicit in the existing communication between humans, and between them and machines, whether intelligent or totally deterministic. It is through knowledge and understanding of the human mind, as well as the sensitivity to the general and specific details of each individual, that it is possible to improve the comprehension of oneself and of others, and empower a better culture of personal and organizational interaction, projecting and implementing better solutions.
To show this relationship and importance, some examples and analogies are presented, with thoughts about the impact and interaction between the technical and Informatics component, and the human, mental and Psychology one.
