It is well-known that there is a close connection between Heidegger and Daoism. This paper aims to show that in what way Heidegger's thinking on the essence of technology might be influenced by Daoism. This can also give rise to an innovative way in linking Daoist thinking to modern society. As a result, this will demonstrate that Daoism is not just a thought of the past. Such an approach can shed new light to its possible contributions to the development of general education as well.
