Our relationship to the technological self
pp. 107-138
This chapter explores the clear and identifiable anxiety sometimes associated with the everyday uses of these technologies, particularly such uses that involve the self with social media sites. This chapter draws on the notion of anxiety to show where it fits in Heidegger's understanding of poiēsis and asks how we can use anxiety to recognize some ontological conditions about humanity in our current epoch. In particular, this chapter demonstrates great concern for the growing nihilism, calculative individualism, and dwindling of confidence exhibited by some of the project participants.
