Abstract

We are not selling our souls to the devil through technology. Neither are we dehumanizing ourselves as a result of our growing dependency on machines. In fact, when everything is said and done, we might have to admit that human beings have humanized technology, and all those gadgets through which it presents itself to us. Technology itself, the way we manage it and the way it manages us, should not be taken as seriously as Martin Heidegger did when writing his famous essay. In a certain way it has been inevitable, but it is definitely not an ordeal, nor a punishment we have to resist. Like everything we human beings have built to simplify our lives, it has its ups and downs, but if we think about them, they have to do more with us than with it. Technology is not a mysterious entity that reveals the essence of humankind.
