Building Cyborgs in He She and It

Let's make a robot to him and her You do not want to make your perfect male or female. What if they are the machines made for you? The idea of ​​artificial intelligence and semi-mechanical person (thinking of human machine) is not as far as we think. In the novel "He She and It", Marge Piercy brought this interesting aspect of future technology to the forefront. The main character of this exciting novel is a robot called Yod. He was founded to protect a small independent Jewish town from being destroyed by the surrounding large corporate cities.

From the 1960's it can be said that billions of people were with us. Liviu Babitz, co-founder of Cyborg Nest, a commercial bio-hacking company, defines "robot technology" as the moment of creating a system that works in conjunction with technology and body. In that case, he said his grandfather had a pacemaker in his heart, "Early Robot, Pioneer." Prosthetic brace also fuses body and technology, and they existed around 950 BC at the very least. According to estimates of the World Health Organization (WHO), about 15% of the world's population uses certain mobile devices, with an estimated 30 million people having pacemakers. Does this mean that a robot revolution already exists?

Donna Haraway rethinks the cultural significance of robots in our era. In her "Cyborgs Manifesto" she celebrates the robot as a possibility of liberation and even as an idealistic idea - a metaphor of flexible identity, infringement of the borders, and obsolescence of men and women. In Haraway's view, the robot represents an industrial machine excluding human beings. However, robots are integrated in humans, which eliminates the distinction previously thought to separate humans from technology. In fact, the boundary of the intersection distinguishes robots. With neither human nor artificial, in a combination of the two, the robot will resolve all duality and opposite. In the case of Haraway, the human-centered universe depends on duality. We fatally program each opponent as good / bad, positive / negative, male / female, genuine / artificial, analysis / emotion, nature / culture. Master / Slave These dualisms constitute our ideas and need to be replaced.
