                                     Reflection to the "Anthropology Cyborg" Video


       The video "Anthropology Cyborg" taught me that  when it comes to technology people have two personalitys a mental self and a physical self. The speaker was concern on how people present their second selves, by always fighting for someones attention. She compare the way we view the media  to the way we determine real life circumtances  because us humans are very attached to material things. For example  she says that if you were to print out all the people you have on your cellphone  the whole room would be full with people. I totally agree with this statement because if your constantly concentrating on multiple things than  you will never  will be fully paying attention to one. the speaker said that machines are helping us become  more human because its giving us new ways to interact and humanity is what makes the world go round.  I agree and disagree with the statement because technolgy isnt  making us turn into anything, its just showing an indivisuals true colors. Adolecense spend more time creating their second selves  than actually being concious of who they are. A person can  have a 1000000 friends when it comes to the social media but in real life  could have none. so what has the world come to when we have to rely on  technology to have a basic conversation, a world where were scare at the sight of another persons voice threw the phone or a persons face. People have to deal with reality. Some conversations may be easier to conduct threw text message but are they genuine because a person can say anything threw a text message but theirs no facial expressions that let you identify wether the words are real or not.
