There is obviously no denial that the technology space is growing and will continue to grow over the years. But the way that humans are interconnected technologically is the fact that we have integrated most of the aspects of our lives with technology. The creation of the TV kept us inside our houses and from the movie theatres during the 1950s to the creation of Apple and their list of devices. The IPhone became a staple in our growing society when it came out in 2007. It was interesting to read the article, “An Era of Zoe and Bios? A Conversation with Eugene Tacker” especially with this quote that says “In the end, perhaps we learn that at the core of humanity, to borrow from Žižek, there is something rather “inhuman”; in fact, such a “gap is thus asserted as inherent to humanity itself, as the gap between humanity and its own inhuman excess.”[4] We might say that we ‘walk the line.’” This quote is interesting to break down because it basically says that we as people tread on this line of humanity and our own accessible values. With the article, “Data Made Flesh” a quote that stuck out to me was “in which notions of “the human” diversify, self-transform, and mutate as rapidly as do new technologies.” This quote is somewhat true because with the advance growth of technology, we as humans try to adapt and grow with these technological progressions.
