 TECHNOLOGY AS A WAY
OF REVEALING
• Comparing the lives of the people before
and now will make anyone realize the
changes that happened in society not
just in terms of culture, language, or
rights but more importantly, changes in
people’s way of life due to the existence
of science and technology.

TECHNOLOGY AS A WAY
OF REVEALING

Even before , people are already

fascinated with science and
technology. This fascination led to
numerous magnificent inventions that
people in the present are able to enjoy
and benefit from. Through science and
technology, people get to experience
what it really means to live because it
helps people in more ways than one.
People who lived in the past and people
who are living in the present all have
different views of what it means to
flourish, primarily due to the kind of
environment and the period one is in.

Human Condition in the Common Era
Earliest case of man-made extinction occurred over 12,000 tears ago, possibly
brought about by hunting and territorial disputes. Driven by their primal need to
survive and gaining the upper hand in terms of development and adaptability,
humans were quick to find ways to drive off other megafaunas threatening a
prospective hunting spot and eventually settling grounds. And overfishing
common prey. Growing population also necessitated finding additional
resources , leading to overhunting

Human Condition in the
Common Era
• Formation of communities
• Trade emerged
• Cross-cultural interaction
• Hunting
• Animal domestication
• Farming
• Skills were compensated (Artisans)
• Medicine
• Wars were waged
Notable comparisons then
and now:

• Mortality rate
• Average lifespan
• Literacy rate
• Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
The Essence of Technology

Modern humans are reliant on

technology in their search for the
good life. We see ways and means
from nature to utilize and achieve
growth- a goal that we believe
would bring forth betterment.
The Essence of Technology

Martin Heidegger:

• a means to achieve man’s end

• that which constitute human activity

The Essence of Technology

It paints technology in such

a way that each period reveals
a particular character regarding
man’s being. A characteristic
design, or flaw , unfolds based
on the repercussions brought
upon by immersing ourselves
with a piece of new technology.
The Essence of Technology

Technology allows humans

to confront the unknown and
see how they would react.
The Essence of Technology

In the name of growth, we

view the world as a field of
resources, vent on attributing
monetary value on seemingly
priceless entities.
The Essence of Technology

Humans are reduced into the

amount of productivity they are
able to render during their lifetime,
and our current mindset is geared
toward which will utilize our own
skills. A good life is one which is
practical in essence; a life which
makes use of our labor and which
we get compensated fairly upon.
The Essence of Technology

Since humans appear not to

really know what they are seeking
for, the search continues. It is a
looming fear, however, that the
path we are treading will not take
us to the right direction, leading us
in endless circles instead in our
pursuit of the good life.

Breakthroughs

• Improved lifestyles
• Machineries aid in
prolonging lives
• Efficiency in industrial

still subscribe to
religion in
explaining
things that they
do not know.

Virtues and their role in achieving
the good life. -Aristotle

Technological advancement are

seemingly occurring in a rapid pace
that our morality cannot quite keep
up.
