Tick Tock Tick Tock...Freeze: Time Orientation and The Plague

        Temporal perspective, the unconscious way in which people incorporate time into their lives through the past, present and future (Boyd & Zimbardo, 2005), plays an active role in Camus’ The Plague. To expand on one of my previous postings for my Story of Evolution & the Evolution of Stories class, the impact of subjective time on the town of Oran and its inhabitants in this novel will be explored.

The human side in Teknolust

What really attracts me in The film is the human part which was so strong in spite of all the advanced technology which seems to be dominating. I mainly observed that through the relationship of Rossetta with her cyborgs on the one hand and on the second between the 3 cyborgs themselves...In one scene, we saw how a whole conversation between the four clones was about how should the SRA`s call Rossetta, should they call her Mum or old sister? and here we see that these are just  names of Human relationships...In another scenes we saw how the 3 SRA`s were showing a kind of fear for each other, and also taking care of each other...

Grace Hopper, Builder of Cyborgs

Grace Hopper is perhaps the most well-known pioneering figure in computer science. She coded the first compiler and is known as the “grandmother of Cobol.”[i] Her vision and drive helped spur computer innovation farther than was thought possible, and led to technologies that even she could not foresee. Her ideal of making computer use easier and more intuitive to humans was carried farther than she could have imagined by technologies like those Andy Clark speaks of in Natural Born Cyborgs.
