TECHNOLOGY AS A WAY OF
REVEALING
Activity 1. In this part, you are once again required to elaborate your answer thoroughly on
the questions below:

1. How is technology a mode of revealing?


Based on Heidegger, he stressed that technology as a way of revealing, that the true can only be
pursued through the correct, a mode of ‘bringing forth’. By bringing something out of
concealment, the truth of that something is revealed.

2. Why should technology be questioned?


Because humans are consumed by technology to the fact that humans fail to pay attention to the intricacies

of technology. And it is only in questioning that humans can reassess their position not only in the midst of

technology around them, but also, and most importantly, in the grand scheme of things.

Explain why Heidegger manifest the calculative thinking towards meditative thinking?
Because calculative thinking tends to be more commonly utilized, primarily because humans’

desire to control due to their fear of irregularity.

Describe technology as a means to an end, and technology is a human activity.


Technology as a means to an end is an instrument aimed at getting things done. While

technology as a human activity is the production or invention of technological equipment, tools

and machines, and the purpose and functions they serve.

Activity 2. Heidegger's questioning the technology brought a big realization on


flourishing technology, especially nowadays. All of us seem dependent on the
presence of technology. However, we cannot cover or hide the truth that there are
ways already that technology brought both positive and negative effects on humanity.
In this activity, you require to draw conclusions or write your perspectives about this
matter. Again, I will supply the first item, and you will continue the rest.

1. Flourishing of technology could be bad or good depends on the person using


it. Utilizing technology would be beneficial when there’s a demand for food,
medicine, especially if there's pandemic, etc. to survive. But when it is utilized
to create destruction to humanity and the environment, that’s when it became
terrible. All these, it depends on one's person's action in flourishing technology.

2. The ethical use of technology is critical to societal well-being. Responsible


applications, such as meeting food and medical needs during a crisis,
demonstrate its positive potential. However, misuse resulting in harm
necessitates collective responsibility in navigating technological advancements.

3.Making ethical technological decisions requires taking precautions against


potential drawbacks. Striking a balance between innovation and ethical

considerations is critical for maximizing technology's benefits while


preventing its misuse for destructive purposes. Individual actions help to
shape the trajectory of technology's impact on humanity and the
environment.

4. In the ever-changing landscape of technological integration, promoting ethical

awareness and accountability has become our shared responsibility.

Aligning innovation with ethical principles protects against unintended

consequences, ensuring a brighter and more sustainable future in our


interconnected world.
