Part 2/14:
In a thought-provoking discussion, it is argued that modern humans are essentially cyborgs, albeit unconsciously. Even without realizing it, we rely heavily on technology, particularly smartphones, which are now embedded in our existence. The speaker emphasizes that we don’t just carry phones; we are inseparable from them. From accessing cloud services like iCloud and Amazon Cloud to managing our daily lives through various apps, our very identities are intertwined with digital infrastructure. This raises the unsettling yet undeniable fact that erasing or losing access to our data could be tantamount to removing a part of ourselves. Our dependence on technology is so deep that it might as well be an extension of our biology, highlighting how human nature continually seeks to evolve by bridging to the next technological frontier.
