"The big questions that we are going to ask ourselves in this century are "what does it mean to be human?" and not least "what does it mean to be alive?" Technology comes alive through robots and artificial intelligence, and life is made technological through biotechnology, artificial organs and limbs, and the genetic engineering of new life forms.

For this reason life is challenged from two sides and displays an entirely different logic from what we are used to. Life in itself is neither dignified, sacred or fragile. It simply is - a fluid and boundary-breaking entity, which is hard to grasp. As Dr. Malcolm says in Jurassic Park, "life finds a way," and it will do so even more in the future. Life will find its way into products, technologies and phenomena, and it will slip out of our control like sand through our fingers. It will be cloned, engineered and manipulated, and there will no doubt be unexpected consequences. "

I came across this interesting article which is very in line with some of the questions I have in terms of our current . tech orientation. The article was written by the Copenhagen Institute for Future Studies.
