Because we humans are in exploration of our needs, and technology is the instrument to meet
those needs in some way. According to the article, technology is a means to an end and
technology is a human activity, which answers how human beings are revealed in modern
technology. We are looking for our needs, and technology provides an end to what we are
looking for. On the other hand, technology is a human activity, which means that humans are
really immediate technology because technology requires human actions in order to function.
That, I believe, is why technology is revealed to humans.
I believe that we, as humans, are always striving for human flourishing because we are never
satisfied, we are always seeking advancement, and we are always striving for something that will
lead to human flourishing. There is a lot of new development, inventions, theories, and so on,
because humans are always curious about something, always looking for something to develop to
make life easier, to gain knowledge pertains to making everyone's life the best it can be. I believe
that human flourishing is a good thing, in the sense that development, enhancement, new
inventions, new technology, and new knowledge are constantly being discovered that will make
human life much easier.
