Paper Summary:

This paper examines the role played by technology in today's world. The paper discusses Heidegger's ideas of our relationship to technology, how we allow technology to present itself and influence modern life. The paper states that humans have the capacity to manipulate their environment through unprecedented technological capabilities.

From the Paper:

"The question of technology in modern life, according to Heidegger, is not so much a matter of technology taking over life, but rather the kind of interaction between mankind and technology which we allow. After all, technology had no soul, no independent mind of its own by which it seeks to take over, and dominate modern life. Technology is, at its core, our servant, and should remain our servant. The issue for Heidegger is our relationship to technology, and how we allow technology to present itself, and influence modern life."
