The Cyborg Manifesto

When machines first started computing, we said computing was not central to being human. When machines started assembling objects, we said assembly was not central to being human. When machines began to listen, talk and engage in advanced tactics and strategies (as in games like chess), we said these cognitive skill were not central to being human. All technological progress is now geared towards the redundancy of the human being as we currently know it. Does this scare you?
