Your Philosophical thought: In the midst of modern technology, I believe that the human person behind
this is also us or ourselves, since we are the reason why technological development occurs, not just to
meet our needs but also to satisfy our wants. Inventors listened to our concerns about the problems and
developed solutions, which are now available to us as technology. Heidegger emphasizes aspects of
humanity that were previously overlooked or are now misunderstood, which I believe applies to modern
technology because it is frequently misinterpreted as dangerous and always has a disadvantage. Because
there are so many of them, most people fail to see their potential and contribution to humanity. According
to our artwork, there are many beneficial things that current technology can achieve, the most notable of
which is communication for everyone, which has made communication so easy and accessible to
individuals from all over the world. Modern technology has also made social networking sites available
for us to utilize freely. Finally, the various innovations that modern technology has made, such as
appliances, television, speakers, and computers, have made our lives better because of the finest
experiences utilizing them.
