From “Unverborgenheit” to “Mining”: Reflections on Technological Manifestation of Life

Human life is not a static existence, but a dynamic process that is constantly unfolding with the development of technology. Ancient natural technology contains the “emergence” of human life, which is an “unverborgenheit” process of complying with nature and obtaining freedom, giving life a rich meaning. However, in the world of concrete experience of modern human life, big data technology has become a new program to extract the trajectory of life activities. The calculation of human life has changed people’s cognition of technology from the original “passive and attached” to “positive and catering to people”, and the focus of “life mining” has shifted from the “physical behavior” of life to the deep mining of “spiritual behavior”. This can be seen as the negative dimension of “life mining”. How to get rid of the “historical destiny” of human beings displayed by technology and explore the “affirmative” dimension of “life mining” is an important issue of the modern times.
