We, the Cyborgs: Challenges for the Future of being Human: by Asha Achuthan — published Mar 22, 2012 — last modified Oct 24, 2015 01:42 PM — filed under: Cyborgs, Net Cultures, Researchers at Work, Research
The Cyborg - a cybernetique organism which is a combination of the biological and the technological – has been at the centre of discourse around digital technologies. Especially with wearable computing and ubiquitous access to the digital world, there has been an increased concern that very ways in which we understand questions of life, human body and the presence and role of technologies in our worlds, are changing. In just the last few years, we have seen extraordinary measures – the successful production of synthetic bacteria, artificial intelligence that can be programmed to simulate human conditions like empathy and temperament, and massive mobilisation of people around the world, to fight against the injustices and inequities of their immediate environments.
