Hi Amanda,
This is an interesting and relevant discussion for our generation. Perhaps I’ve had a different situation to many, but I have not had to spend 8 hours a day on zoom and have not heard of others who […]

Hi Nick,
Thanks for posting this question. This screenshot reminds me that nature does not see the construction of gender the way we do. There are some little gender symbols in the picture that we see whether it […]

Wow, what a modern concept! I think that this could have the potential to be quite a positive advancement for society in certain cases. I understand that this raises ethical questions. But since it is difficult […]

Hello Catherine,
At first glance, the robot dog struck me as amusing! Thanks for sharing. I think that it should be used. However, some changes should be made to the dog’s appearance to help calm down the […]

Wow, now I’m quite interested in seeing this film. I think that this begs the question: what will be the data revolution in the next generation that fights for a more equitable system of data collection? I think […]

I came across this wearable technology that is being developed by a scientist by the name of Neo Mohsenvand. His goal is to help those with brain difficulties be able to store memories, specifically with […]

Hi Tess, this is a great question. I would have to agree with Stephanie that this is not an example of a cyborg because there is not a robotic piece being inserted in or on you. In addition, this surgery is much […]

Hi Stephanie, I think that it happens a lot that products are made to be expensive when they could be sold much more cheaply like the example you shared. For the $270 version, it seems that you are paying for the […]

Yes, this image does reflect many of the ideas presented in the Collins reading. I agree with Amanda that it makes one wonder if this was done intentionally. It’s hard not to notice the black woman in the […]

Hi Kelly, Yes, these two images do work together to convince women that they need to change their body so that it could be more ideal. What I find disconcerting about these posts, and many others like it, is that […]
