Heidegger says "We are questioning concerning technology in order to bring to light our relationship to its essence. The essence of modern technology shows itself in what we call Enframing." This means that the essence of technology is not Enframing rather it is by Enframing that we can know what the essence itself is. What is the essence? Computation (science) A means to an end (instrumental) Enframing (a way of revealing) Standing-reserve (resource oriented thinking)

Standing-reserve (resource oriented thinking)

Heidegger says "What is dangerous is not technology. There is no demonry of technology, but rather there is the mystery of its essence. The essence of technology, as a destination of revealing, is the danger." Pick the sentence that best describes why technology is dangerous: Technological stuff is the essence of technology and therefore all technology should be avoided so that it does not take over our human way of understanding. I should get rid of my iPhone and stop using computers because they are destroying my human essence. The essence of technology is dangerous because it is impossible to understand, and that is why we must keep questioning about it. Because of the essence of technology we are only able to see the world and things in one way, as resources.
