Cyborg Anthropology

Cyborg anthropology is a fascinating field of study that I have been following for the past few months. One of the most current and interesting people that writes on the topic is Amber Case. Cyborg anthropology can be thought of as the co-existence of humans and machines. We all interact with machines on a daily basis and this has affected ever aspect of our humanity. Cyborg anthropology aims to study and document the effects of our interactions with technology.


I've been noticing the situations and outcomes of these interactions more and more after reading just the tip of the iceberg about this sub specialty. The following video of a projected computer screen that can be used anywhere, shows a possible future where machines and humans interact seamlessly - very exciting stuff!
