Exit Meat and My Life

The "Exit Meat" article is very interesting. It looks at how much technology has affected our lives and what kind of "human" we are now. The four categories our natural body, modified body, enhanced body, and cyberbody. Each category adds a little more technology on to your body until you are completely computerized. Many find this view to that of science fiction movies such as "The Matrix", which are referenced in the article. It often scares people because they only want to be a "natural body," one that has a limited to no connection with technology. It is my view that the "Terminator" robot is nothing to be afraid of. It is okay to push the boundaries between human and machine, not being afraid of being exit meat.

That being said I still consider myself a natural body. There is nothing attached to me that is technologically related, but I am not afraid of become a modified or enhanced body. Technology has the ability to change peoples lives. The medical world has fully adopted robotic limbs to help people function and computers to help people think. This is a small section of that technology that can help people all over the world. The Matrix will never come true, but the ability to become a modified body will be and I say humans should be accepting of that.
