Revealing (or aletheiea)
Revealing may be looked at as synonymous with truth, or more accurately a way of looking at the truth. Technology is a way of exposing truth in the world. With every technology we learn something new about the world. That means something new is revealed about the world. The way it is revealed determines what we will learn and how we will view the technology. Therefore, we should not look at technology as only gadgets, tools and toys. Instead technology reveals things about the natural world, human beings, and the interaction of human beings in the world. The importance of revealing has to do with how we view technology and the meaning we attach to technology. If we fixate on one way of looking at technology we will miss all of the wonderful things it might possibly reveal.

This is not a bad attempt at an impossible assignment! An example would be very helpful here as well
