The term 'Cyborg' scares me, or at least it use to scare me before last weeks lecture. I always thought of a cyborg as Arnie in the film 'The Terminator', 'Star Wars' and robotics. However these three all provided me with negative connotations of the word. Maybe it is simply ignorance and not enough technological awareness on my behalf, but the term really did scare me...
So I did some research and Googled 'cyborg'. Goggle is not doing anyone like me a favour here are the nominees for top three cyborg images on Goggle: Number one, Kate Moss cyborg. Number two, Clockwork Homosapien. Finally, Number three, Technology Man...Scary?
The point that I am trying to make is that Microsoft, Apple, Sony are not getting near my body with their future wearable,integrated technologies. We already all exist in the digital world through our Facebook or MySpace pages. Why should we expose ourselves to becoming digital? I am all for technology and developing in our world, but come on, lets keep it natural!
At least for a little while...
