Mischa Peters reflects in the article “Exit meat” the interrelationship between human body and the technology. In the article, there are four concepts: human, posthuman, internal technology, and external technology. It discusses about how technology will play in human body. Then ask yourself. Which of peters four conceptual body do I most identify with?
All four conceptual body doe fit in our body some how but I would say natural body fit with me the most. I know I use technology often most of time such as computer, I-pod, cell phone, and more. However, I don’t think they are controlling my life. That being said, it does not mean they are like awful or anything like that but I just do not think that technology has power to completely change my life. Overall, I do not think that the Matrix will be true.
Being a person that doesn't rely solely on the technologies that are constantly being improved upon, I can see why you would choose to identify most with natural body. You do not only rely on technology, but rather that limitations that a person can achieve, with technology as a supplement. I liked your point that "all four conceptual bodies do fit in our body somehow", where as a person in this society, technology is somewhat a part of us, and our bodies, though not literally. By being so overwhelmed and surrounded by technology, one cannot help but to proceed forward and make it a part of their lives.
