Technology is the way of human being-in-the-world. It is an active action of human being as subject, a kind of existence, a course that lades the wills of human being, and its ultimate products exist as objective artifacts. Human manifested his nature of 'Gattungswesen'through technology which is the major differences from others. Technology progress, as a powerful and universal force, has penetrated into the base of human roots, and has resulted in the unprecedented changes and bewilderment of value alternations. But human being as entity bears value in the metaphysical meaning, is engaged in value alternation according to the objective and subjective measure and shows his nature of 'Gattungswesen'. The development and consummation of human are based on the technology progress and value alternation.The paper makes research on the inner relationship of technology progress and value alternation. The two categories are essential to the being and development of human. It regards the society as a big system, goes deep into the human being, and makes human being as the point of tangency to clarify the inner mechanism of the thing's development from the dimensions of philosophical annotation, logical perspective and case study in a dynamic and interosculant net by systematic method. This paper reveals the essential effects of technology in the origin of human and mundane life from fable and fact dimensions. But value alternation is necessary to the human praxis. In other words, Human is technological being and human is value being, the paper views these two propositions as the logical starting points of the paper to explore the mutual correlations dialectically and systematically.In this paper, it put forward the idea that technology progress is substantial premise of value alternation, elaborates on the way of technology progress shaping value alternation, including technology progress itself shaping certain value alternation, construing value alternations which are compatible with itself, and changing value alternations by providing new opportunities and causing new problems. It narrates the concrete affects of technology progress on value alternations,such as, the conversion of technology's position in the value alternation system, the transition of value alternation itself ,and the basic point permutation of value alternations.And it enumerates several projections of technology progress on value alternation. The influences of value alternation on technology progress are theother important aspects of this paper. The social role which value alternations play in the technology progress is revealed. It historically analyses the construction of value alternation on situation of technology progress by typical case, and makes the conclusion that convenient value alternation will set up the circumstance, which is beneficial to technology progress, otherwise, the inconvenient one will straggle the progress. The paper describes the relationship between value alternation and the atmosphere of technology progress through there aspects, viz. value alternation on the situation of technology existing, chosen and the same technology in different surroundings because of different value alternation systems. It develops an analytical framework for the restriction from value alternation on the direction and effect of technology and progress. The author provides some explanations as to why modern technology originated in the West, and why firms in the United States, Japan and Western Europe are leading in technological innovation. The value alternations are identified as underpinning the West's preeminence in technology progress. The characteristic value alternations prevailing in different nations result in various features of the technological development. Finally, the positive and negative effects of Chinese traditional value alternation on technology progress and the realities in China are discussed.
