Defining Human.

Technology changes us.

 It always has.

From the discovery of fire to the invention of the plow which ignited the agriculture age, and ushered in the beginning of civilization itself, technology changes our society, our culture and us personally.

We evolved along with our technology through the perfection of metallurgy - through the copper age to the bronze age to the iron age, every step of the way, we changed.

We learned how to control the rivers and lakes in the great hydraulic ages and marched on to the revolutionary perfection of the Gutenberg printing press. An invention so powerful it created the communications, education and provided the foundation for the first industrial age.

And here we are, at the beginning of the fourth industrial age, an age where we once again can use technology to re-define ourselves. Except this time, we are doing it at the personal level. We are weaving technology into our clothes, embedding technology into our brains, connecting our minds to the global network.

"For first we use machines, then we wear machines, then we become machines."
