BACKTRACKING THE HUMAN CONDITION INTRODUCTION  TECHNOLOGY AS A WAY OF REVEALING Significant changes in culture, language, or rights, and people’s way of life due to science and technology. The term "generation gap" attributed mainly to the changes brought about by technology. The original idea about technology is to help everyone but not everyone is comfortable using different kinds of technology. The gap arises as older generations struggle with new technology, while younger generations adapt easily, so it represents a challenge to make technology more accessible and to encourage younger people to assist older generations.  TECHNOLOGY AS A WAY OF REVEALING Historically, people have been captivated by science and technology, leading to significant inventions that enhance quality of life. The concept of human flourishing varies across different time periods, shaped by societal and environmental contexts. As lifestyles have drastically changed, so have perceptions of flourishing and the actual human condition, primarily influenced by advancements in science and technology.  THE HUMAN CONDITION BEFORE COMMON ERA  THE HUMAN CONDITION BEFORE COMMON ERA Primitive Life, Innovation, and Answers: Our early ancestors primal need to survive and pave the way for innovation and development in order to not only survive but to also thrive. The motivation of making things or situations easier has been occurring since the early periods. Gifted with advanced intelligence, we are able to utilize the resources around us for ease and comfort. THE HUMAN CONDITION BEFORE COMMON ERA Early Innovations: Humans back then known as Homo Erectus used fire to cook by chipping one flint over the other without any knowledge of the laws of friction. Tools from flint and stones were utilized in the Stone Age and stones would be sharpened and one such discovery is the wedge. THE HUMAN CONDITION BEFORE COMMON ERA Early Innovations: There are little to no accounts in this period but archaeologists and anthropologists utilized cave drawings and unearthed artefacts to infer and narrate details about their culture. An example of this is the multiple “Venus” figures that suggested a fixation of the “female anatomy”.  THE HUMAN CONDITION BEFORE COMMON ERA Clothing and Necessities: People discovered minerals and began forging metalwork. Fur clothing and animal skin are used as clothing to protect themselves against winter and harsh winds. Our ancestors are able to realize the vulnerability of being naked and created clothing suitable to withstand extreme conditions. THE HUMAN CONDITION BEFORE COMMON ERA Clothing and Necessities: Excavation sites discovered possible early concepts of accessories made of shiny stones or bones which suggests that our ancestors were engaged in the concept of beauty.  THE HUMAN CONDITION BEFORE COMMON ERA Religion as Answers: Excavations in the latter half of the Stone Age discovered figures that might be ceremonial which suggests that people of that time painstakingly worked on the figures in honor of a deity. Early primal gods included objects that they encountered in their day-to-day lives. An example of this are elephants, mammoths, mountain gods in windy areas near mountains, and gods for water. THE HUMAN CONDITION BEFORE COMMON ERA Religion as Answers: Religion remains the strongest contender to science due to it being more People from today and even back then to our ancestors easily grasped seek to explain things in a way that we can understand. and understood. Our ancestors justified things beyond their understanding or control as supernatural beings.  THE HUMAN CONDITION BEFORE COMMON ERA Limited and Inferential Information In This Era: 1 Lack of Evidence & Reliance on Unreliability 2 Different Point of View Back then, people had to improvise and We can only speculate on the culture innovate to deal with harsher of this Era due to limited information environments and conditions compared and sources from cave drawings and to later eras which may suggest that people back then had different point of artifacts excavated. view.  THE HUMAN CONDITION IN THE COMMON ERA  THE HUMAN CONDITION IN THE COMMON ERA For a long time, people were content with their relationship being surrounded with nature. Earliest case man-made extinction occurred over 12,000 years ago, possibly because of hunting and territorial disputes. By the growing population it needed more additional resources, leading to over-hunting and over-fishing common prey. Formation of communities caused humans to expand more in territory and more people to feed, large communities hailing from same ancestors paved way for civilizations.  THE HUMAN CONDITION IN THE COMMON ERA The Holocene Extinction: The period of Holocene, marked by the extinction of numerous species between 12,000 and 10,000 years ago, was likely driven by human hunting practices and territorial disputes. The extinction of large mammals, such as mammoths and giant sloths, is often attributed to over-hunting by early humans. Several species both flora and fauna where affected due to human activity. THE HUMAN CONDITION IN THE COMMON ERA Early human societies were often centred around hunting, which served not only as a source of food but also as a way to demonstrate prowess and social standing. War wage from different tribes seemed the only solution for needs of resources. They were able to find out some 5,000 years ago that engaging in a peaceful way was possible and less bloody method.  THE HUMAN CONDITION IN THE COMMON ERA This was the start of “trade” to occurred during this time, leading for cross-towns and eventually cross- cultural interaction to happened. The exchanged of products and initial needs emerged. This gives the people a new objective- to gather more products as possible, this have turned into wealth as their goals and as civilizations. For those who do not have sufficient wealth, they began to hunt, farm and produce things with profit. A nuclear community (a self-sufficient community) has to accommodate their growing population with depleting resources. THE HUMAN CONDITION IN THE COMMON ERA Products of every kind were exchanged; -crops -cattle -poultry -clothing material -metal -accessories -weapons -spicies -literature -entertainment  THE HUMAN CONDITION IN THE COMMON ERA Some people used their Some people used their skills and got skills and got compensated for it- compensated for it- bringing forth a specializes bringing forth a artisans. specializes artisans.

Machines were created and causes endeavored by the people long ago. 2. Some perceived death at the very least, unpleasant and concocted potions to ward off evil. 3. Before medicine was born, people have use incantations with mixtures of substances to turn lead into one. This paved way for chemistry to emerged but not quite distinct from alchemy. 4. Due to different race, belief, or abundance of resources wars often occurs, leading communities to allocate resources to the militia. THE HUMAN CONDITION IN THE COMMON ERA 5. Physical strength was valued the most, although they appeared to be as many intellectually gifted figures just the same. They were the innovators behind the discoveries and triumphs of these civilizations. In the positive-side, the people of today are much better compared from the people centuries ago.

We see ways and means from nature to utilize and achieve growth—a goal that we believe would bring forth betterment. OLD TECHNOLOGY VS NEW TECHNOLOGY TECHNOLOGY: A TOOL OR A WAY OF LIFE? In retrospect, this view of technology proves to be goal- oriented. It assumes that it is instrumental in achieving a goal in mind, that it is a purposeful, deliberate craft humans steer in order to reach some greater good. In the advent of postmodernism,  TECHNOLOGY: A TOOL OR A WAY OF LIFE? However, the deterministic view appended to technology crumbled as people began to question if anything is deterministic at all. Apart from its purpose, what is technology? Was the history of technology brought purposeful choices for man in his search for the ultimate good?  HEIDEGGER'S PERSPECTIVE Some tried to redefine technology away from its purpose. One philosopher by the name of Martin Heidegger argued that its essence, or purpose, and being are different from each other. He was able to expound on this point upon identifying that technology can either be perceived as first, a means to achieve man's end and second, that which constitutes human activity. MARTIN HEIDEGGER  SECOND PERSPECTIVE Some tried to redefine technology away from its purpose. The second perspective paints technology in such a way that each period reveals a particular character regarding man's being. A characteristic design, or flaw, unfolds based on the repercussions brought upon by immersing ourselves with a piece of new technology. In effect, through technology, a myriad of new questions begins to mount. Rather than thinking that humans have a clear idea of what to expect in a good life, it can be stated that technology allows humans to confront the unknown and see how they would react.  THE ESSENCE OF TECHNOLOGY This is not a good thing altogether though, for technological revelation is but one of the many ways to perceive the world. However, as long as humans are invested in growth and development, we cannot distance ourselves from this perspective. In the name of growth, we view the world as a field of resources, vent on attributing monetary value on seemingly priceless entities. We begin to categorize nature as renewable and nonrenewable instead of seeing it as it is.  THE ESSENCE OF TECHNOLOGY Humans are reduced into the amount of productivity they are able to render during their lifetime, and our current mindset is geared toward which would utilize our own skills. A good life is one which is practical in essence; a life which makes use of our labor and which we get compensated fairly upon.  THE ESSENCE OF TECHNOLOGY It is no wonder that the sciences are one of the most sought after courses, for the opportunities are plenty and the resources are bountiful. Since humans appear not to really know what they are seeking for, the search continues. It is a looming fear, however, that the path we are treading will not take us to the right direction, leading us in endless circles instead in our pursuit of the good life.  NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF TECHNOLOGY This is the danger presented by too much Humans are reduced into the amount of productivity they are able to render during their lifetime, and our current mindset is geared toward which would utilize our own skills. A good life is one which is practical in essence; a life which makes use of our reliance on technology. Humans lose labor and which we get compensated fairly upon. It is no wonder that the sciences are one of the most sought after courses, for the opportunities are plenty and the resources are bountiful.

Religion explains the unknown, science offers discovery. Both are still attempts to make sense of existence. BACKTRACKING THE HUMAN CONDITION Despite advancements, the human condition remains the same. Struggles for survival, conflict, and meaning persist. Technology has only added sophistication, not changed fundamentals. BACKTRACKING THE HUMAN CONDITION Technology alone cannot define the good life. Aristotle: Human flourishing comes through virtues in society. Virtues like wisdom, courage and justice lead to fulfillment.  BACKTRACKING THE HUMAN CONDITION Technology is rapid, but lacks moral consideration. Aristotle’s good life is guided by virtues, not efficiency. A good life is a balance of innovation Technology-driven Progress Virtues and ethics.  BACKTRACKING THE HUMAN CONDITION While technology provides comfort and innovation, it cannot define the good life. Embracing virtues and a holistic view of flourishing is essential. What does it truly mean to live well?
