This virtual life(second life, whole cyborg thing) and ID chips in human body.. They scared me ..
I think human more likely to become a robot. we can programming ourselves, maybe in the future, some people will have remote control to stimulate part of their body, (turn it on and off their ID chips.. ?!)
ways of presenting ourselves online is in control, ways of how we look from birth is out of control..
cyborg is living being, not a human being..?
I found a interesting power point (can't remember where I get it from so can't reference.. but if you google it up, you may find it), and in this powerpoint, it defines the cyborg = 'cybernetic organism'
more about the cybernetic and how this theory describes a funny equation
Cybernetic equation human=machine ,

For this cyborg issue, it will change ever as our revolution of technology will keep going..
The picture above is called 'hawking-cyborg'. I guess Hawking is some shorten name of the owner of the cyborg?
A-ma-zing idea!
Okay, about 'microchipping people', as I mentioned in my previous blog post,
I wouldn't try on human body. I mean implanting ID chip might be convenient(like, in the international air port, it will save time for every one.. I don't like to lining up in a long que, holding my passport but still, implant ID chip is something I wouldn't trust)
I don't like the idea that even people who carry ID chips in their body knows what kind of information is stored in their ID chip, maybe at the end of the day there will be a power or control system.. What if the centre-system secretly put some information into ID chip that we don't want to be read, you never know..
And.. I just realized how expensive to get ID chip implantation! Read this article, 'Implantable chips, on sale now'
holy molly ~ it is expensive~ rice-size ID chip implantation costs $200 in US.. so.. in NZ roughly $400? (bit less than that? )
Health care institution already planned for this ID chips ?!
All these ID chips and cyborg ideas get me thinking that human is becoming a robot? (you may not understand what i mean.. Robot, computerize human body, mechanisms and control by some other centre computer.. )
p.s Gee.. I want to see bright side of them... ;D
Even these two (ID chips and cyborg) are not diseases/ medications, I always think of some 'side effect' ..not main purposes..

Hmm I like the idea of being chipped for airports... I hate lines!!! I still wouldn't get chipped though.
i dont even know if i would like the idea of having an i.d. chip at an airport i get freaked out enough with my passport and fingerprints imagine if something happened and the system crashed or there was a miss-match u'd get shot on the spot! Can we rely on computers they have the capacity to fail us im with u the whole thing freaks me out! ah
I agree...ID chipping..the idea just freaks me out aswell. Was just reading Jakes blog and the whole bebo situation with him having access to different peoples account..Computers can fail and shut down at any time, and I wouldn't like to rely on that for my identity! No way!
I wonder what would Kevin Warwick do if the world decided that micro chipping is not the way to go...but its pretty sweet that his wife decided to join him.
human cyborgs do exist....Look at the governor of California! ex porn star, ex mr America hehehe gives all the boggans out there some hope.
Yea I am not quite 'Posthuman' enough to be into getting micro chips implanted in my body.
