This document appears to be a slide presentation about the relationship between technology and the human condition. It discusses how older generations view new technologies as complicated, and how technology has helped improve factors like mortality rates, lifespan, literacy rates and GDP over time. While technology has improved living standards, it has also presented the danger of humans losing track of what really matters in life. The presentation explores how humans continue seeking meaning and purpose, and how technology both aids this search and also presents a paradox by limiting our view of the world.

 Not everyone is
comfortable in using
the different kinds of
technologies.
 Older generations
think of new
technology as
complicated and
puzzling as they are
used to simple living
in the past.

 Growing population
and large
communities needs
constant resources to
thrive.
 Later on humans .
civilizations had a
new goal: “WEALTH”
 “those who have
many, i.e. wealthy,
lived comfortably and
thus are generally
happier than those
who do not” - Do you
agree?

 Humanity became
more complex.
 The primary goal was
not merely to survive,
but to live the good
life.
 Technology has been
instrumental in
searching for the
good life - people
were able to come up
with creations that
would make life
easier, more
comfortable, and
more enriching.

 Humans today are
much better of
compared to humans
centuries ago.
 Some notable
comparisons below:
1. Mortality Rate –
today, lesser women
and children die during
childbirth – assuring
robust population and
workforce

2. Average lifespan -
science is able to
prolong lives by
enhancing living status
and discovering
different cure to
most diseases
3. Literacy Rate – easy
access to education
provided a more
informed public and a
more just society
4. Gross Domestic
Product (GDP)- used to
determine the value of
the country’s goods and
services over a period of
time.
Technology = Higher
productivity = Higher
GDP

 Was the history of
technology brought
purposeful choices for
man in his search for
the ultimate good?
 Martin Heidegger
argued that its
essence, or purpose,
and being are
different from each
other:
1. First perspective –
“technology as a
means to achieve
one’s end and it
constitutes a human
activity”
2. Second perspective –
“technology allows
humans to confront
the unknown and see
how they react (e.g.
repercussions”

17. SLIDESMANIA.COM
 “It will be absurd to
venture the dark and
the unknown, but it
should be done in
order for us to retrace
our steps to be able
to achieve the Good”
( a restart?)
 The danger presented
by too much reliance
on technology =
“humans lose track of
things that matter”
 Humans appear not to
really know what they
are seeking for leading
to endless circles in
pursuit to a good life–
the search continues…

 It seems technology
(with all its clamor)
does little to aid
humans in their
pursuit of life’s
meaning. DO you
agree?
 Lets watch this short
advertisement:
 Humans are still trying
to discover and
rediscover things that
would give meaning to
their lives – honor,
strength, merit?
 People are still trying
to make sense of their
existence in the world.

 However, it also
leads us to a paradox
in which we are only
able to see the world
in the lenses of
technological – one
dimensional.
 Science and
technology has been
part of human
activity since the
beginning of our
species.
 It has aided us in
survival, discovering
more about
ourselves and the
truth.
