If you look at the history of human culture, most of our technology was created with the purpose of making something easier. But recently we've been moving in a new direction: instead of creating technology that we can use, we're making technology that makes it easier for us to use ourselves.
There's something terrifyingly romantic about the idea of a cyborg - the merging of man and machine - and these new technologies serve as subtle reminders that we are nudging our civilization inexorably closer to the brink of a cyborg age.
