Blog #7: "I'M NOT A CYBORG"

"CYBORG":  In science fiction, Human being whose biological functions are bionically enhanced. After reading the meaning of this word. I can totally say No, I'm not. Unless, this is just the nickname for the kind of people that like to take the advantage of using and enjoying the comfort that such devices bring to our life day after day, in which case I should say Yes, I'm a Cyborg.

Not only that I'm not the kind of persons that easily get obsessed with an activity, and I don't even like to do what everybody do because is actually cool, but because I think that technological advance does not come alone, there are a sort of consequences, as result of utilizing them that we have to pay for.

Speaking about "Pay for", it is not just about money, it is much more about the psychological, physical or mental injuries, caused by the inadequate use of some of this devices.  To mention one of the blessed inventions in life, Let's take the case of Computers, I specifically would like to talk about Internet, which in the last years, had been providing a sort of  knowledge, general culture, work, business, social networking, entertainment and so.  Apparently a generous list of good qualities, but there is another face of the moon, which is called the dark side of the moon. As the moon, Internet has also his dark side,  and it have been becoming really dark since at the same time that have been used to help reunite families,or to find missing persons, in the meantime had been used for bullying, abusing, destroying integrity or even human life.

Day after day we have been listening or reading the news and getting affected by how some of the bullying victims have reacted in view of the aggression .  It is really sad to realize that  at my view one of the most important discovering s in the last century cannot just be used as a Knowledge, or Love, or Peace instrument but as a deadly weapon too. In conclusion, We should never forget that there is a frontier between our and the other rights, and that respecting human rights is the only way to live longer in Peace and Love.

  1. Excellent post!

    I like how you took one aspect of technology--an important one--and made it the center of your discussion. THAT is what writing "with a thesis" means and what you should be doing in the "response" part of your CATW. Good job! :-)
