Will Technology Make us Less Human?


I'm a techno-junkie, and only half-jokingly say I'm ready for my computer implant. but these two companion articles (of which this is one) really ask some interesting questions. I like THIS ONE because of how important the author believes mistakes are, and as what make us human. I like this idea.


Ray Kurzweil is always a trip, but here he speaks to my soul. I refuse to believe that technology, properly applied, makes us anything less than better humans! This is THE COUNTER-POINT to the other view I find compelling.
