Technology (Heidegger's critique of)

Heidegger's critique of technology argues that modern technology shapes how we see and interact with the world, often reducing everything—including nature and human life—to what can be controlled, measured, and used as a resource. He warns that this "instrumental" mindset can cause us to forget more meaningful aspects of existence, like wonder, care, and the natural interconnectedness of things. Heidegger suggests that instead of viewing technology merely as a tool, we should reflect on its deeper impact on our relationship with the world to reconnect with a more authentic and mindful way of being.
