The problem is the default of the question: the fate of questioning as such in the wake of technology.
Martin Heidegger emphasizes the question “after” that is to say: “in the wake of” modern technology.
Raising the question of the question at the outset of Being and Time, Heidegger tells us that “Every questioning is a seeking [ Jedes Fragen ist ein Suchen ]” (ga2: 6/sz 5).
John Macquarrie and Edward Robinson render Fragen as “inquiry” but Joan Stambaugh translates Fragen as I would do, that is: as “questioning.”
A philosopher with an interest in sentences and categories, Heidegger explains that “Every questioning after … is in some fashion questioning of …” [Alles Fragen nach … ist in irgendeiner Weise anfragen bei… ]” (ga2: 6/sz 5.).
