I am a cyborg..... and so are you.

Jenifer Ceraso brought up an interesting point about shutting out technology. But I don't believe that we can escape technology because it has BECOME us. We are all cyborgs. Without technology the world as WE know it wouldn't exist. This even reminds me of something someone had once mentioned in a class about there being actual programs that will shut your computer down in order for you to "escape." But because we live in a digital age, where we are all walking, breathing cyborgs, without technology you go through "withdraws." Which at first sounds silly, but many people even get anxious about missing a comment on their Facebook, or can't live a day without Twitter. And what happens if your hard drive crashes, or you lose your cell phone? It is pure devastation!!! And I believe it is because technology, authority and voice are directly tied to identity; without it we're all just regular human beings in a regular world, and not the authority created in a virtual world.
