We are currently in the middle of the transformation from Martin Heidegger’s modern society to a society based on digital technology. In the developing digital society, humans in their current state of ‘Being’ are increasingly surrounded by systems that are networked and run based on algorithms, software, and data. These interconnected systems function, communicate, and interact in networks and driven by these algorithms, software, and data, which give them the ability to connect, calculate, and reveal. Jointly, these systems thus create a new and actual reality based on their mathematical and scientific background. In the present-day digital society, humans’ actual ‘state of Being’ is increasingly framed by what the digital technology reveals to us and enables. The transition to this new digital reality conjures up more and more questions as to whether we as humans sufficiently understand the essence of digital technology and whether we as humanity have sufficient knowledge and insight to be able to analyze and fathom the essence of the new digital ecology around us. In this article, I will use Heideggerian phenomenology as a philosophy to create a framework that will allow us to, based on phenomenological research into our current ‘Dasein’ or ‘being there’, gain deeper insight into the ‘Being’ of digital technology and the ensuing development of a digital reality for humanity as a whole.

我们目前正处于从马丁·海德格尔的现代社会向基于数字技术的社会转变的过程中。在发展中的数字社会中，处于当前“存在”状态的人类越来越多地被基于算法、软件和数据的联网和运行系统所包围。这些互连的系统在网络中运行、通信和交互，并由这些算法、软件和数据驱动，这使它们能够连接、计算和揭示。因此，这些系统基于其数学和科学背景共同创造了一个新的现实现实。在当今的数字社会中，人类的实际“存在状态”越来越多地受到数字技术向我们揭示和实现的内容的框架。向这个新的数字现实的过渡引发了越来越多的问题，即我们人类是否充分理解数字技术的本质，以及我们人类是否有足够的知识和洞察力来分析和理解新数字生态的本质在我们周围。在这篇文章中，我将使用海德格尔的现象学作为一种哲学来创建一个框架，使我们能够基于对我们当前“此在”或“在场”的现象学研究，更深入地了解数字技术的“存在”和随之而来的全人类数字现实的发展。
