Technology is more than just our use of gadgets and tools to make common tasks easier, it is an understanding of the world as being apprehendable. As we are surrounded by technology, we become wrapped in its apprehension of both ourselves and our surroundings. This apprehension conceals what was our past understanding of the world and a new world emerges. If we remember our Being and come from the ontological perspective, we are granted the understanding of things as they really are. Understanding technology from the ontological perspective, we see it for what it is.
Technology is a sort of revealing, who's essence is Enframing.
Heidegger uses the term enframing as a challenging claim on man. Not only does the image now have a place inside the frame, but we can call it a picture because of the frame which it has around it. Yet it would still be an image without the frame. We do not think of the wall that the picture is mounted on as part of the pic ture, nor do we think of the room that the picture is in as part of the picture. None the less, the picture is not itself if it is not in its proper place.
