1. “To what extent are we already experiencing a man -machine symbiosis that has turned us into cyborgs [or posthuman bodies]?” Christiane Paul (Digital Art, p 166)
Nowadays, technology make our life better, we use them alot. Technology become a part of our life, such as mobile phone and computer, we can life without it. Also, people use some technology in their bodies, such as glasses and brace on their teeth...

pros:

enhance the power of our human body, make them stronger
help people work more efficiency
cons:

What do you think of Stelarc’s work?
I think his work is creative but crazy. From the view of science, his work is a great inventment which try to challenging the human body. On the other hand, he uses a machinical element a human body, it cannot be easliy accepted by others.
