We are all cyborgs:

-The traditional definition of cyborg is “an organism to which exogenous components have been added for the purpose of adapting to new environments”. It was first published in 1960 paper on space travel. 

-Technology is an extension of our mental self and because of that we are able to travel faster, communicate differently.

-“Mary Poppins” technology: you can put anything on it, doesn’t get heavier and when you don’t need it anymore you just take it out. 

-Cellphones are mental warm wholes: you can click on anything and be from A to B instantly. 

-Amber Case is worried about people not taking time for mental reflection anymore. Addicting culture of instant gratification. 

Big Mother is Watching You:

-She tracks her sleep using an app called Sleep Cycle.

-She does not have any children and she is a journalist.

-She cheats the app by not checking in the nights that she stays up and out, because they mess with her stats. 

-She had used the app for three years when she found out that apps that use motion to track sleep are extremely imprecise. 

-They are creating new devices to dig deeper into the health world. They want to use these devices to transform information into something individuals can use to prevent further health problems.  

-People are scared that this data which is being collected by the devices is being sold or used for a different motive presented.
