This video gives one scenario to answer the question: how could human augmentation affect the freedom we have in our lives? This piece is a work of fiction, but it brings up some ideas that are extremely relevant to today’s culture. I think it’s very common for people to want to be superior to others. Those values serve as the backbone for most of what we do: work, school, sports. We want to be smarter, stronger, and richer than the people around us. This video tells the story of a young woman whose thirst for superiority and whose addiction to technology leads to her own enslavement. J.C.R. Licklider, a psychologist and computer scientist, said the problem with complete human-computer symbiosis is that we still think in very different languages. So I wrote a way for humans and computers to literally live and work as one body. But perhaps this isn’t something we should be striving for. Perhaps humans and computers were never meant to be integrated so closely.
