Will Technology Can Affect The Human Body?

| | |
This may be so in 2012 a new phase of the relationship between technology and humans.  Smart technology development has expanded beyond the technological dimension to the old boundaries in interactions with humans. Smart technology, which refers to the various tools and machines "intelligent", changing the earlier models patterned interactions that direct the human physical command of the technology into a reciprocal interaction.

Somewhere along the line, and who the trailblazers, the term has been widely labeled smart on television, car, cell phone, gadgets, cameras, bracelets smart, savvy clock and so on. The tools and machines that were created as sophisticated as possible so the interaction between humans and technology can be through voice control, motion control, the body of the electric field, and the other face recognition.

Patterns of interaction between the two then changed drastically: technology is no longer just a man ruled, but the technology can rule and warn users. Another thing to note: the interaction of technology on humans is not only a technical matter, but could reach the condition of the body and its emotions. Tools and machines have evolved and expanded the dimensions of emotional, physical and affection.

One recent example, some advanced cars, like the Ford Focuz, has been equipped with sensors that can recognize the emotional state of the driver. System in the car will change the face of the driver process data into the data memory system, which can then identify conditions motorists are angry, happy, stressed or unhappy. The system then delivers or performs the best actions for the driver to remain safe and comfortable.

The phenomenon has shifted the basic assumptions about technology culture. Old view of culture as cognitive matters or any values and beliefs is perceived not to take shelter in a sense shifted into whatever is experienced, intimate and reach the body and senses. The body then became the most complex cultural sites in human relations, technology and the natural environment.

From his roots, the technology comes from the Greek "techne" which means "art", which form the knowledge applicable to produce according to the needs and nature of human ideas. Functionally, the technology then becomes an extension of all the techniques on human beings to manage the natural environment. This assumption is putting technology to apply knowledge as a product which is then produced and controlled by humans.

In other words, technology helps the human body. Computer technologies expand the function hand in writing, extend the car within walking distance function. Picture like that, to borrow a phrase Chris Shilling in The Body in Culture, Technology and Society (2005: 176), representing the body as a source of technology type (body as a source of technology). As an extension of the human body, participating technology change human nature was originally just part of being able to intervene, manage, dominate and conquer nature.

In addition to extending the capacity of the human body, technology precisely restore (restore) the functions of the human body. The concept of "restoration" is closer to the meanings of such fix, repair, renovate or update. This concept presupposes technology improve any deficiencies or inability of the human body when interacting with the natural environment.

That way, the technology is not only extend the human body functions in relation to the environment, but also to fix the nature of things that the human body is weak: allow people to move fast car 200 km / h although not impossible with the two legs.

Control Awareness
Smart technologies reach further shortcomings in interacting with the human body and the natural environment. Smart car systems simultaneously even able to see things that are not reachable by the eyes, ears, or the entire human body. It happened when the car the system can "see" hazard distance by car, building or environment around the car that was speeding. Car acceleration system operates beyond the reach of the rider's body awareness.

Smart car even capable of more sophisticated in terms of conscious control, such as the Ford Focuz automotive technology that turns off the phone and take over the operation of driving if the driver looked under stress. This car is also capable of monitoring the biometrics of the driver, which is a kind of physical symptoms and of biological motion and body temperature. The smart car even gives health information to emphasize the intuitive response motorists.

From these figures, the first technology concepts considered an extension and "restore" the human body is further extended with intelligent technologies. We can see again, that in August 2012, communications technology company Apple has patented a cell phone (mobile phone) which is claimed to have a "feeling".

Apple revolutionized the perception, cognition and the ways humans use communication technology. Apple production phones can automatically adapt to the environment without direct orders from users: turn off the screen and sound when in the cinema, turn the system into sleep mode when it is in the bedroom.

In addition to Apple, a smartphone app discovery conducted by researchers at Northwestern University who introduced Mobilyze as a therapeutic tool to help people who have symptoms of depression. The application can detect and warn users of depressive symptoms early on, leading to oversee mood stress. The system then offers the user a variety of activities to avoid depression.

No doubt about it, now we are faced with the phenomenon of mobile intelligence, smart televisions, cars and many other types of smart technologies, including: touch screen, the screen identified a knock, detecting electrical activity of the brain, eye motion detection screens, facial changes and environmental sensors. Thus, technology has moved even further. Technology is no longer merely a tool for humans to manage the natural environment, but human consciousness itself which will be managed by technology.

A technological management of the consciousness and the human body, to borrow a phrase once again Chris Shilling, is referring to the treatment "the body as a location technology" (body as location for technology). The symptoms actually began technology products specified for men or women, such as beard shaver. In addition, there are several technologies for people with weak organs or disability. Examples of this are paving the way towards the assumption that the technology will be able to manage the activities of the body and human consciousness.

Broadly speaking, we can note a shift in human relations and technology: technology as a tool of human, technology complements the function of the human body, to manage the technology and the human body awareness. In addition to meeting the needs and goals of human, smart technologies allow humans transferring control of the situation themselves and their surroundings.

Control that was once directed from man out, being reciprocally transferred from overseeing the technology itself and the human environment. This is a practice of conscious control is no longer imposed on human beings, but also borne by a clever system. For the next few years, in a world increasingly crowded, busy and complex, perhaps our conscious control of the body completely taken over by the more tech-savvy technology. Possible. And we become the object technology.
