Meditations in the intersection of humanity and technology 

Summary 

Actually, we must have thought that the intersection of humans and technology has a clear line, though, it changed to the blurring line by evolutions. 

The speaker is a photographer who takes gait pictures of humans and amputees. Now, creating a set of legs can walk, run and even jump without seeming to be mechanical at all. Of course, the prostheses don’t move on their own. The sensors read pulses from the amputee’s muscle to tell the limp how to move. We can see Ibuki, a Japanese word, that is to breathe new life into it, and feel more human. 

When the blurring lines are erased, is it by humans or technology, and what happens?
