Technology: A mode of Revealing

1. Technology is a method of revealing the Truth used to achieve goals or make life easier for us.

2. Technology is a mode of telling because it is intertwined with how we live, our practices, and our surroundings. It also provides us access to everything we want to explore while discovering and searching for the meaning of Truth.

Technological development, moving from the old house phone to mobile phones, and now to smartphones, all-cause varying challenges.

4.  Technology reveals the Truth of the world. And modern technology is showing that we are not living in our world. We live in a digitally constructed dystopia, and our existence is only presented through social media.
