Where was Hannah coming from?

On the very first page of her latest book, she quotes Martin Heidegger:

Thinking does not bring knowledge, as to the Sciences.
Thinking does not produce usable practical wisdom.
Thinking does not solve the riddles of the universe.
Thinking does not endow us directly with the power to act.

With the Computer, and its Software - all of this, is no longer true. But she died in 1975, before this came along.
