Blog 5

This chapter of Ihde was still confusing but i was still able to come to some conclusions. My first observation is my interraction with the glasses. When we put the glasses on we see the world differently ten when we dont have them on. These glasses reshape the world for us. Through embodiment we dont ever relly notice these things as objects unless the object encounters a problem. This is very similar to heideggers hammer. Another analogy i can make is when we drive a car. We do not think of he car as a objedct we feel one with it. The only way we see the car as a object is when we wreck of something with the car goes wrong then we see that us adn the car are really not one and the same. Ihde mentions that our technologies relate us to our world. This is because without technology we hardly would be able to do anything in todays world.
