Abstract

The aim of my proposal is to address the following question: “How the experience of interacting with a specific technology mediate our experience of the world?”. I will do this by exploring the ideas of the postphenomenological theorists: Don Ihde, Peter Paul Verbeek and Evan Selinger. Postphenomenological studies tend to focus on understanding the roles that technologies play in the relations between humans and world.I would examine the idea that technologies mediate the world in such a way that perception of the self, world and environment changes. I am going to deepen the phubbing phenomenon, because it reveals the effect of technologies on social interaction.
