During the permanence in field and data analysis, it was possible to notice that the quoted professionals consider their work dependant of the technologies, but they talk about their fear because of possibilities of failure in the technologies. Other features of the work were analyzed, as the interpersonal relationships, the presence of death and the feelings related to their work.
