You use technology for things you don't even realize you use technology for. You think about "breaks" and "offline days" because a life spent offline is no longer imaginable.

 

The cyborg future is close, but you can still resist. We're talking about how we've molded technology with our own human limitations and whether the Amish can save us.

 

◬ In this episode:

 

⋗ Word of the podcast: Manicheism ⋗ Our inevitable cyborg future (and how not to fight it) ⋗ Did we inadvertently program our dualistic perspective into technology? ⋗ Is our limited understanding of ourselves reflected back on us through the way we design technology? ⋗ How does our reliance on technology influence our personalities? ⋗ The Amish are ready.
