"TECHNOLOGY AND ORGANISM"
“The history between the interaction between the organism and technology is a long one. Is it a tool? Or is it something else?”
“The fact that the body is discussed alongside with the mention of technology where technology is not cited as separately from the body is an indication that the discussion of the relationship between technology and the organism is of significant importance.”
“The question is posed, ‘Is technology connected to the changes of the biology of the organism?’”
“If we look at the history of technology, we find that the armies in europe used crossbows and bows as part of their long-range equipment. They used armour where they tried to avoid the human body being penetrated by sword. They used catapults as part of their artillery.”
“By the way we are not talking about industrial technology, we are talking about PRE-INDUSTRIAL technology. Now what’s this got to do with changes of the biology of the organism. The fact that they had this technology, they felt safe, they felt strong, they felt confident in their ability of destroying an army with less technologically advanced equipment.”
“This touches upon the topic of the nervous system where the nervous systems works differently in responses to the human being feeling different feelings. So we can conclude that even the primitive of technology correlates with the changes of the human nervous system.”
“Now we look at modern technology which involves technological advancements in videography and website development. We see the extent of how much technology correlates with different biological responses when that technology is used to manipulate the biological processes of the human being.”
“Dopamine. Quite common term you might have heard.”
“Where the porn company shows a video which stimulates your dopamine and when you got tired of it, they gave you another video, another dopamine kick, they gave you another video…another dopamine kick. This is technology where it is being used by companies where they try to deliberately influence your neureo systems. Social media is quite similar to this but instead they give you feeds and scrolling where they try to stimulate your dopamine alongside triggering your emotional reactions such as anger.”
“Is it a tool or is it something…else?”
“Who knows?”
