Thinking about Cyborg and/or technologized bodies. Attended a tech conference last week where many people had in mind "fixes" to problems of aging and disability (even when it was not couched that way).
I got to speak, and I felt like it was in a different language - about disability pride, about how everyone will one day be disabled (if they get to live), about designing while respecting "nothing about us without us."
I love the stuff I get to use. But there's a real problem with glamorizing technology and/or being cyborg.
Glamorizing the tech and the idea of these technologized bodies makes us ignore important issues, like maintenance and social meanings.
