In Natural-Born Cyborg, Clark argues that what makes humans so different from other species is our ability to fully incorporate tools and supporting cultural practices in our existence. all natural exploit our brains' amazing plastic - as simple as writing the sketch, so familiar as Google or cellular phones, and potentially revolutionary as mind-extending neural implants Technology. He explores the ways in which we have adapted our lives to take advantage of technology (the measurement of time, for example, has wrought major changes in human existence), as well as the ways in which increasingly fluid technologies can be adapted to individual users during normal use. "" It's a double whammy of plastic brains and increasingly responsive tools and better equipped to create opportunities unprecedented for the type-near man-machine merger, "" he wrote, arguing that such a merger is entirely natural. A stunning new look at the human brain and human self, Natural Born Cyborg reveals how our technology can not be separated from who we are and how we think.
