Technology As a Way

of Revealing
 refers to the chasm
that separates the
thoughts expressed
by members of two
different generations
 can be used to
describe the
differences in actions,
beliefs, and tastes
exhibited by members
of younger
generations, versus
older ones
Older Generation Vs Younger Generation
The Human Condition Before Common Era
• They have been using fire to cook, through chipping one flint over the
other to produce a spark
• Tools from stone and flints marked the Era of the Stone Age, and
humans began to sharpen stones as one would a knife
• There is little to no written accounts except for several cave drawings
and unearthed artifacts from various part of the world
• It then proves that there is little capacity for our ancestors to
contemplate and perceive things outside themselves in a more
reflective manner .
• There are several excavations in different parts of Europe of
miniature statues prevalent during the Paleolitic period, the so called
“Venus” figure
• People discovered minerals and began forging metalwork
• Fur clothing and animal skin are primarily used for comfort against
harsh winds
• Excavations on the latter half of the stone age include several figures
thought to be ceremonial ,meaning, that perhaps people of the time
had also painstakingly wrought and hewed said figures in honor of
some deity
The Human Condition in the Common Era
• Formation of communities caused humans to expand more in
territory and more people to feed; large, separate communities
hailing from the same ancestors and residing in same larged
communities paved way for civilization
• They realized that they could get hold of things not present in there
towns by offering something of the same value present in theirs
• They have turned to wealth as one of their goals as humans and
ultimately as civilization
• Technology has been instrumental in all of these
Notable Comparisons Then and Now
1. Mortality Rate
2. Average Lifespan
3. Literacy Rate
4. Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
The Essence of Technology
• Modern humans are reliant on technology in the search for the
goodlife
• Philosopher named Martin Heidegger argued that its essence, or
purpose, and being are different from each other .
• It can be stated that technology allows humans to confront the
unknown and see how they would react
