When one heard of technology, all what gets in mind is the good news of what technology has done in human life. For instance, when we look at what is meant by technology today, we become overconfident of ourselves on the reality that we are little smarter than our primordial ancestors. Despite the fact that they were able to invent fire as well as wheels and language, technology in the modern time has taken a different perspective and changed man`s life. Since technology has brought change and has made it possible for the world to become like a village, it is not possible to predict it since new things are implemented every single day. This paper seeks to look at modern technology as well Describe and assess Heidegger`s account of human freedom in relation to technology.
Technology permeates every area of society, fundamentally attacking our lives. It has helped us to effortlessness our troubles, but what we forget is that there is a price to pay as we lose the human touch. Since we have become used to it we just cannot seem to live without it and we sulk for new progression. For this reason, it is high time we to start thinking about the impact that technology comprises on our way of life. To have an answer on this, we can view at Martin Heidegger`s philosophy to establishment whether technology is truly helping us or whether it`s robbing of us our compassion. A fundamental motive to study the philosophy of technology is due to its controversial. Heidegger builds up a philosophy of technology that actually addresses the unification of science and technology (David, 2009).
It is a fact that many people wonder whether Heidegger`s discussion on technology is of essential today, since they have already witnessed the vital of scientific and technology advancement that have occurred in the modern decades. Deferent from technology on airplane, radio, machine technology, hydrogen bomb, cell phones and internet, technology has taken a new diversion where it has enabled science to infiltrate into microstructures of the organic and inorganic(David, 2009). This has driven to new vistas for the representation and manipulation of beings.
If one looks at Heidegger`s examples on technology, it seems that man has changed and become used to what is happening in the modern days. For instance, the originality of new technologies are wearing off faster today compared to the days before as man has become used to technology and our capability to be captivated by industrialization modernization is diminishing (Vincent, 2007). It has been noted that current discoveries which are more challenging and more decisive than the radio, airplane transportation and the nuclear bomb, are not surprising as much as those of the first, since man is becoming less surprised by the new innovation as we have grown to expect them as well expect anything which may came as a result of technology.
Heidegger explains that even if there is technology of which every person has embraced, there is a danger of automation. In this case, he explains that mechanization is the total disappearance of attraction and questioning. He explains that in mechanization, beings are abridged to that which is re-presentable and makeable as well what can be calculated and manipulated. Heidegger seems to wonder on this technology and his extinction of wonder is for the culmination of the type of technology thinking so suitable today in sciences(Vincent, 2007).
As mentioned before, Heidegger concern on the danger of computerization can be seen. for instance, this has started showing in modern scientific inquiry into the personality of a human being, a concern that has generated some of the greatest difficulties for scientists as man is misusing the freedom in the field of science to try anything without been concerned with it implication to human beings.
For instance, cognitive science attempts to explain human behavior by studying the architectures of the brain, nature of language, motor function and perceptions and on the other hand, they are trying the way possible to stimulate human intelligence with computers, something that may result in something that we will no longer consider as wondrous since freedom in this field have even put human life in risk.
When Heidegger agues on the issue of human freedom on technology, there is also another issue on whether modern technology and modern physics are human discoveries and according to Heidegger, he states that the essence of technology is nothing technical. In his explanation, he states that the spirit of contemporary technology is establishing neither in power machinery nor in the apparati that modern physics is a relationship to technology as enflamed (Friedrich, 2009).
According to (David, 2009), it has been noted that technology pervades ...
