ENC 1101: Issues in Technology


“Late twentieth-century machines have made thoroughly ambiguous the difference between natural and artificial, mind and body, self-developing and externally designed, and many other distinctions that used to apply to organisms and machines. Our machines are disturbingly lively, and we ourselves frighteningly inert.” —Donna Haraway

“Our various improvements not only mark a diminution of the function improved upon . . . but they also work to dissolve some of the fundemental authority of the human itself. We are experiencing the gradual but steady erosion . . . of the species itself.” —Sven Birkerts
