  The Question Concerning Technology

Title of the Article

1. Difficult Concepts (What concepts did you find difficult to understand?)

i. The basic feature of human consciousness is enframing.
ii. Many countries have benefited from technological developments.
iii. Information as a back-up plan.

2. Insights (What new insights or learning did you gain in discussion/ activity?)

Before reading the article/understanding the lesson, I thought that I used to believe that technology
became harmful depending on how we use it.
i. However, reading the article/understanding the lesson, I now think/realize this is really so
danger. In Martin Heidegger’s article it tells that It is a danger because when the real is
concealed it may be misinterpreted.

ii. Before reading the article/understanding the lesson, I thought that

technology is always in the form of technological matters or it is based on
technological essence.

However, reading the article/understanding the

lesson, I now think/realize that Heidegger had a different claim about it.

iii. Before reading the article/understanding the lesson, I thought that order you to understand
technology, you must know the application of the technology but before that, my own
definition about technology is simply gadgets or computers.
iv.
v. However, reading the article/understanding the lesson, I now think/realize that there are
dominant approaches to understanding technology The first is instrumental, viewing it as a
means to an end, whereas the second views it as a human activity. They, according to Martin
Heidegger, belong together.

3. Questions (What questions would you want answers for? Or vague areas you want more
explanations about?
i. Why did Martin Heidegger tell that technology is not a product of human activity?
ii. What will Martin Heidegger's focus on technology in the West have as a result?
iii. Why do Heidegger always concerned with questioning the essence of technology?
