Interview with a cyborg
Erich Berger has a 96 year old grandmother who is a cyborg. She features dentures, hearing aids, glasses, pace maker, a metal implant on the pinkie toe, and more. Quotes from the interview:
“Some would say that you are a cyborg, because you carry so much technology inside of you that you even need to live. Cyborg is a term that describes a life form that is partial human, partial something technology.” — “But I am still human. I have some technology but a lot of it I don’t see and I don’t pay so much attention to it. It’s more what it does for me that is important for me. I only have these things because my body was not working well. They help me.”
“If you knew today that you would have another 50 years to live, would you want to know how to use a computer?” — “What for? I don’t know what it does? I am a tailor and I like to play music and do the garden. And that is what I would do the next fifty years .. and maybe when my grandchildren have children themselves, I would baby-sit them. Kids are wonderful!”
