The new boundaries between bodies and technologies constitute one
of the most important developments in the last fifty years. Through
technologies we not only change the relations between a natural
given, the body, and a human-made artefact -- the technology but
also change the ways we experience the world. How close are we to a
world in which the abilities of machines are indistinguishable from
those of the species that invented them? Our encounters with the
new technologies change the cognitive processes and influences the
modes of processing information. Moreover, it raises the question
of the nature of human beings. Traversing body as emotive- being-
in- the world and body as location culturally and socially
constructed, there is a third dimension: the dimension of
technological. Are we able to use these new dimension as a creative
interface between the emotional brain, the acting body, and ICTS?
In answering these questions, the book explores the action of
bodies in technology, that is, how the sense of our bodies and of
our orientation in the world are affected by information and
communication technologies. It contributes therefore to the
world-wide discussion and debates on the impact of technology,
especially information technology, on the lives of human beings in
the age of globalization, in particular to the present thinking of
the relationship between technology and embodiment.
