A Human Journey

Just like many of the voices in class have expressed, I, too, have some sort of  tendency to mistrust those terms with "post" or "trans" as a prefix and "ism" as a suffix. 

To be honest, I still can't fully "see" what all this discourse on the post or trans [human] is all about. (Shoot me).

Post-human... really? Try sub-human.  There are still too many [humans] who live in conditions that the supposed humanizing projects should have "fixed".

Anyway, I wasn't as sparked up by the fourth week's materials as I was the first three.  I guess I just couldn't operate on samples from SciFi.

There are humans that are more robot than robots. 

(Okay, I get this.  All I have to think about as an example are the millions of people who mechanically survive their Mondays!)

There are robots that are more human than humans.

Really?  Where?  WHERE?

(Referring to a movie or a book or a comic series doesn't count.)

So, for the fourth week, all I can say is, I am glad it was the week for the digital artifact   At least, that makes up for a sloppy post like this.
