How can technology transform the human body?
Is it even possible for technology to transform our bodies? Do we want technology to transform our bodies? Some of these questions are answered in the Ted talk called, How can technology transform the human boy?
In this video, the woman talks about what it would be like to mechanically enhance our bodies to do amazing things. She talks about how she studied with scientists to use biology and fashion into enhancing our bodies. She actually came up with a pill you can take which will make you smell good, like perfume. After taking the pill, when you sweat your sweat smells like perfume instead of the normal sweaty gross smell. I think this is pretty amazing but also very scary at the same time.
I do believe that it would be extremely cool to have your body be able to be capable of such cool things like this but I also think it is a big danger if it evolved into things even more crazy. Our society these days are so focused on "the next big thing" and whats "in style". I feel like if things like using amazing technology to enhance your body became popular, people would not be human anymore. We would be like robots. We would lose the things that are unique about every individual and we would not be ourselves anymore. We would not have the features that make us who we are as individuals. We would all be the same. So I ask you, would you choose to live as a robot or to be yourself, unique?
