Class 6, Assignment 9

There was a lot of interesting stuff in this article that was posted in the lecture notes, it focuses on a theory that say people change with the technology and culture around them, as well as a theory that claims the next big technological breakthrough is the expanded use of virtual worlds and that they will affect us in a huge way.
There was a ton of information in this reading but some things that stuck out to me in particular were the areas about cloning or multiplying the self. It talks about basically translating human mentality and emotion into computer code, which would then give the option to easily duplicate or clone humans, more or less just as easy as copy/paste. This was a little much for me! That is a hard theory to grasp, but I suppose the same thing was being said at one point in time about putting a man on the moon, so we'll have to just wait and see!
