you could run a good line of thought down into this and come back with some reasonably perceptive insights into the prominent dysmorphic undercurrent of modern society, I reckon — especially if we consider the divide between contemporary porn and peoples’ actual sex lives. And speaking of fetishes, I’m pretty sure this cyborg reality’s physical disassociation has a lot to do with the upswing in zombie appearances in modern media…

thanks for the article

I guess my cyborg commeting software has a bug…

but — and this is a major but — in this day and age, are really celebrities still the best example of media cyborgs? obviously TV is still big, but look at so many people so much stuff.

damn, look at Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber — they wouldn’t be who they are if it wasn’t for the publishing platforms any person can have access to. Even if Gaga came around through the traditional roads, she rocketted so fast because of them.

so to me the most important media cyborgs are the ones who provided means for self-replication, for any person to become media cyborgs themselves:

Mark Zuckerberg, Biz Stone + Ev Williams, Steve Chen + Chad Hurley + Jawed Karim, Matt Mullenweg, David Karp + Marco Arment, all the engineers responsible for small digital cameras [specially those inside cellphones], and obviously Christopher Poole (m00t).

As I stated in my post, your post really got me thinking, which I greatly appreciate, and I think that that alone speaks volumes.
