Cyborgs: a Twisted Double Standard

It is difficult to imagine that technology is our body expansion and is our own extension. We use technology, use all the resources of technology, then process it and replace it with new, often more sophisticated technologies. However, it is clear that technologies are not simply a means to achieve desirable results, but it is an integral part of our lives. Shirts, heating, forks, washing machines, these are all the techniques we use to improve ourselves and our lives.

Rockland Mouse is one of "Cyborgs and Space" written by Manfred Clynes and Nathan Kline in 1960. The dual bill of engineers / psychiatrists invents the term cyborg (abbreviation of "cybernetic organism"), the vision of an "enhanced person" that adapts to the severity of space travel rather than the average person I will explain. Clynes and Kline imagined a future astronaut whose heart is controlled by injection of amphetamine. The lungs will be replaced by "reverse fuel cells" running with nuclear power.

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 mind, "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?

From the late 1970s to the mid 1980s feminists such as Donna Haraway and Anne Balsamo began discussing postmoderns, semi-mechanics and feminism. Haraway (A Cyborg Manifesto) considers robots to be a transcendental possibility of gender role, but Balsamo (gender technology) is based on Foucault's sexual theory that the body of a woman in a non-material world I advocate a robot as a metaphor. This means that the 1990s was the "robotic era". Because people began to realize that they are not like isolated individuals, they are like nodes on the network. In other words, Kunzru says "Robots are not how much silicon is under your skin, or how many prostheses are in your body," they I think that I think.
