Answer:
In fact, people wearing glasses can be regarded as an experience of a man-machine symbiosis. Also, people using their mobile phones at anytime and anywhere is this kind of experience. The above examples are poeple's experiences of relying on the machine and technologies. And people who lost their limbs in accidents may install some prosthetic-fake limbs(mechanical) to their organic bodies. This is an example of physical experience of man-machine symbiosis.
(2.) What are some pros and cons of becoming a cyborg?
Answer:
Pros:
- can take the advantages of machine (eg:mobile plones' communication function)
- for prosthetic- fake limbs, they help people to live more like normal people(more convenient)
- can get the best elements of both organic and mechanical parts(eliminate those worst elements)
- less human limitations
Cons:
- too robotic(not organic any more)
- against the rule of nature(not natural)
- human being may rely on the machine or technologies too much
-may not function as well as the natural limbs
- more like a robot than a human being
- controversial issue(moral and ethical problem)

What do you think of Stelarc’s work?
-Robotic
- sense of future and Surrealism
- illusion(not real)
- science fiction
- difficult to imagine how Stelarc did the artworks
- made use of large amount mechanical elements
- not easily accepted by the public(main stream)
- crazy and very imaginative ideas for his artworks
so do you like his artwork?
回覆刪除Yes, cracy!
回覆刪除I hate his ear!
It is interesting too when you look at something which looks like robotic and surrealistic, it can give you a sense of futurism.
You cannot imagine what his brain is functioning. It is totally nonsense to treat his body like this.
Really! The work of Stelarc may not be accepted by everyone.
回覆刪除That's really difficult to be accepted by public in the past, but technology keep on having new improvement nowadays, I think the public may change the traditional mind to this.
回覆刪除Its scary but quite funny at the same time~~~
