![“I think he [Heidegger] sets the question up in a useful way and, despite appearances, he's not 'against' technology. He just wants us to have a questioning and thoughtful relation to it. This must be relevant to any approach.” quote by George Pattison](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/8b4/george-pattison-17005_appearance_i-think-he-heidegger-sets-the-question-u_438353.jpg)
