Is it possible for you to live a day without technology?

Perhaps you'll say it's impossible. Our lives are too dependent on
technology that it really is hard to imagine living without the
technologies that we get used to. Have you wondered how technology
is really affecting you life and the society?

Martin Heidegger, a German philosopher, pondered on the essence of
technology (The Questions Concerning Technology).
Read https://blogs.ubc.ca/philosophyofetec/s ... eadings-2/ and https://mindfultechnics.com/heidegger/ to
learn about Heidegger's ideas about technology. Try to answer the
following questions as you read the materials:

1. What is the essence of technology? What is the essence of modern
technology?
2. What is enframing? What is standing reserve?
3. Using a hydroelectric power plant as example, explain enframing
and standing reserve.
4. In what way enframing is dangerous? What happens if we consider
humans as mere "resources"?
5. Why is it important to view technology as art?

Perform this task after reading the materials. Think of a modern
technology that you are very familiar with. In 400-500 words, (a)
describe this technology, (b) explain enframing and standing
reserve using the same technology as example, and (c) discuss what
the technology can reveal if you view it as an artist or a
poet.
