This article is about the conception of "us" or that identifies the set of humans and highlights them ahead others living beings. Thus, a discourse about "us" always needs a base of support and points in a direction. This point implies, even if minimally, a direction of the human being projected in a future. To discuss about this human direction and would verify as its characteristics, in the first section we expose some opinions of philosophy through contributions of Heidegger and Kant. In the second section, the conception of "us" will be analyzed through the most recent phenomena of technical world. The final conclusion points out that the human direction provided by the technology, adapts well to certain characteristics. A possible solution to deal with technological human direction is the involvement of philosophy with certain aspects of the technical world, already available, and to make the promotion of a space for reflection.

This article analyzes some passages from the prologue to The Human Condition of Hannah Arendt and highlights some projections about the future. The purpose of the investigation is to follow the author's question about what "we are doing"? This monitoring points out that the scientific achievements of the time, in the middle of the 20th century, circumscribed the author's background. But, after more than half a century, this question asked by Arendt motivated by scientific achievements must be put back in a more up-to-date context. The article is dedicated to this update, to further deepen Arendt's main concerns with the future. The answer found after the development of the two-part text, still focusing on the "what are we doing?" question, reflects the technological and social dynamics of recent years. More precisely, the answer points to a worrying connection between the generation of artificiality and the "objectivity of the world."
