Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -According to Heidegger, technology itself is not good or bad, but the problem is, that technological thinking (calculative thinking) has become the only form of thinking. Heidegger saw that the essence of technology nowadays is enframing – Ge-stell, which means that everything in nature is ‘standing-reserve’ (Bestand).

Detailed explanation-2: -Heidegger explains that the Greek word techne, from which “technology” derives, at one time also meant the “bringing-forth of the true into the beautiful” and “the poiesis of the fine arts.”

Detailed explanation-3: -Technology, according to Heidegger must be understood as “a way of revealing” (Heidegger 1977, 12). “Revealing” is one of the terms Heidegger developed himself in order to make it possible to think what, according to him, is not thought anymore.

Detailed explanation-4: -According to Heidegger, enframing is the manner in which Being manifests itself in the age of technology18. Enframing allows human being to reveal reality as standing reserve (Bestand). In this sense, technology is totalising.
