"The Fault of Time" (In Addition to Heidegger, Stiegler, and Banks)


Technics as a question of time is what we have to consider as we move through our technological time period. Do we advanced in technology as we become lazier and lazier as human beings. Or is it the other way around, as time precedes technology. For example, our iPhone might become slower and degrade after some time and we have to upgrade and get a newer version, which will ultimately do the same thing.


The art of technology (techne) is the art of bringing something into being, "called technical beings, technics, human activity according to Heidegger, thinker of technology.


We ask this question, according to Stiegler, the question of technology if our beings corresponds to the system of technical instruments and improvements. The answer is yes it does. The art or anthropology of the human being relates to what we create, the technical instrument that aides our whole being, whether we give it all away or master technology as humans through our everyday actions.


Technology and the Human Structure


Humans-technology are rational, removing restrictions on communication. Humans and technology work parallel to one another. We are communicative progressively replacing a purposive, rational action on language. We are dynamic and innovative, the same as a computer system. We are determined and civilized- a relation to technical forces.


However, besides the ongoing of generations, technics, or technology evolves more quickly than culture-"technics" the development of new knowledge. Humans are liberated from communication through technology and online platforms. Technology introduces the reality of culture into our human existence. According to Stiegler, the limits of a system order is dynamism. The innovative dynamic conditions all others, technical progress consists in successive displacements of its limits (44). Like the human body, there is no one technical system but a succession of technical systems according to Golle (44).


The Completion of the Human System

Humans can make tools as well as symbols, both of which derive from the same process- this concludes not only that language is a characteristic of humans as a tool, but also that both are the expression of the same human property.


According to Stiegler, Rosseau concludes that tools of technology are substituted for natural original force of the solitary man-an illuminated power, always beyond the reach of the hand- which must be prepared, transported, arranged, and must enclose oneself. Integrity of force, the "who" is nothing without the "what" (156). At the end of the completion of the functional system, evolution continues by rupture and not by fulfillment (180).

About Me

               Welcome to                       Digital Writing &            Rhetoric:  The Blog for             the Digital Era...

Hi, my name is Arielle. I love to tell you all about me. Currently,
I am a first- year grad student. I love to write and tell stories to
all those who listens. I love to speak to individuals who yearns
for my experiences. I love to communicate. I work and support
my fifteen-year-old son, who is thrilled to be a college kid.
I also love to read, anything from science-fiction to tales of
womanhood and grace.

 

I find that the Digital world has helped
me become the person I am today. With podcasts and audible,
I can dream of new theories on many different subjects.
I will analyze readings and offer thorough insight on major
readings from this course. I look forward to reading you guy's
thoughts on the same issues that forces us to think digitally
for all audience types. As a student I value what has come
of the digital world. ​

As a writer, I have learned the history behind 

digital material and technology, for the use of written language and 

document design. As I get to know the digital lingo, I want to become 

a professional in the digital era. I strive to know what goes here and 

how do I make these two things work all for document design and 

written presentations. ​

I am on a remarkable journey, to establish myself and use efficient communication that will enlighten and help future leaders of America. As a scholar, in academia, I want to create innovative techniques for published works, whether it's for the arts or a simple guide for document designers. Currently as a technical writer student, I will learn the basics of design principles and rhetoric composition both online and on paper. I strive to establish myself for my career goals in Technical Communication. ​

I want to bring to the workplace my story and my journey so that I may be equipped for future company goals and engagement. I believe Digital Technology has evolved to where users can put any idea onto a digital space.
