Abstract

The current ongoing epidemic brought to the forefront of our mundane experiences the use of technology and the influence of media. Due to the isolation most of us face, technology is the only means through which we can safely connect with the people around us. Through technology, media is the way in which we can stay updated to the world around us. Due to this, technology came to facilitate the access to two main spheres of our lives: that of the people we know and that of the world we live in. The current essay sets to revisit Heidegger’s Question Concerning Technology from our current predicament, reflecting on our relationship with technology, how this is relevant for the crisis we face, and the way in which media can change our way of perceiving the said crisis through its narrative.
