What three questions do you want to ask about the text? a. How Heidegger was able to come up with this? b. Is bringing forth and challenging forth knows by a lot of human? c. what is the essence of knowing the technology by Heidegger if not all human knows this?

Exercise 3. Art as Saving Power Instructions: Heidegger explained that art holds power that could save humans from the danger of being consumed by technology. In his words,"[art] is pious... yielding to the holding-sway and the safekeeping of truth" (1977, p. 18). In this activity, focus on art as the saving power of technology. Look for an artwork that 'reveals' the human person in the midst of technology. Explain the artwork in relation to general concepts discussed in Martin Heidegger's The Question Concerning Technology. Use another sheet of paper for the picture and explanation.

In this artwork, it reveals the human person in the midst of technology. The left brain was technology and the right brain was the nature. Technology and nature are both beneficial to humans. We just have to know how to balance it. Moreover, Heidegger also saw art as an act of the mind. If we let the technology rule our world, we will always miss the nature that is free to us. We have to save our nature while embracing the new technology ahead of us.

Assignment1. The Dangers of Technology. Instructions: Read the article below after reading, answer the questions that follow. Questions: 1. What is this data privacy scandal all about? It is about the breach of 87 million accounts that may be affected by data privacy scandal.

2. How does this Facebook privacy scandal relate to Heidegger's notio notion n of revealing of modern techno technology logy as challenging forth? Facebook was once defined as bring forth, as it helps other people from different country to be connected because of Facebook. But, because of this article, it is now considered as challenging forth as it occurred problems to those accounts that were included in the data privacy scandal. 3. How are Facebook users 'enfr 'enframed' amed' in this particular data privacy scandal? After the data privacy controversy, Facebook users were more vigilant. This controversy has scared a lot of Facebook users, leaving them more careful. 4. How do you think Facebook can be used in a way that is more con consistent sistent with Heidegger's idea of poiesis or a bringing forth of technology? As I’ve said, Facebook was once defined as bring forth of technology. Maybe what Facebook would do is to strengthen their data basis in order to prevent a breach again in the future. 5. How c an the Heideggerian notion of 'questioning' guide Facebook users toward a beneficial use of social media? Not all we see on the Internet are true. Same goes to Facebook. All of the posts or anything we see on Facebook needs factual information. We need to always be vigilant whether something on Facebook is true or fake....
