The 4 Biggest Things Impacting Education Technology

"The essence of technology is by no means anything technological..." Heidegger says in his essay, The Question Concerning Technology. "Thus," he continues, "we shall never experience our relationship to the essence of technology so long as we merely conceive and push forward the technological, put up with it, or evade it."
