From this week's readings on "Heidegger and Technology", I have chosen to support Feenberg's perspective because by not understanding the functions of our technology, uncalculated risks can take effect. Technology should follow the hallmarks of science, so that the models can be applied and tested before they can be safely utilized to enhance our lives. If testing is neglected, serious negative consequences may happen and in today's modern world, it is of the utmost importance that the tech safely meets the standards of the consumer.
Note: I also revised and edited my original post for week 1.



You could also mention here that Feenberg sees technoloogical development as influenced by social context.
