100days - 100: New Thesis Question

How can the knowledge that we can't get lost help us deviate from the norm and rediscover our surroundings?

100days - 99: (Human) Machine

Technology enabled, missed communications. Are elusive. Hard to lock down. Timely and destructive. We expect to have immediate access to each other yet at these critical moments we are confronted by the reality that at some point the person ends and the machine begins. If we are the machine, then the interface between the body and our technological selves is imperfect. Many connections lead to dead ends. Human + machine ≠ machine. Yet if we are just human, than this equation becomes self evident. Human ≠ machine. We have a tendency to think that when communication fails it’s the, human who is responsible. After all, technology is the child of humanity. Blame seemingly needs to be placed somewhere.

100 Days - 98: Unreflected

Nothing feels as personal as catching someone else reflection of themselves in a mirror. A personal moment between one person, yet one that goes unreflected for a life time.

100Days - 97: Motion

The robot is moving. He has my physical appearance and my animatronic eyebrows.

100Days -  96: Context Helps

While there are a lot of shortcomings I still feel as though I have learned and grown in new directions. And while I've had to adjust my expectations I still feel like I've been on a path that I want to be on.

100Days - 95: Potential and Negotiating

If we call a baby alive, yet my dog is objective smarter? How does potential factor into human life? If my phone increases my overall potential to achieve or to connect or to remember in this world, can’t it be said that it too is alive? If a child is a pale replication of society and of their parents then, are our phones just as alive?

100days - 94: Meaning

The pursuit of purpose seems to be my...purpose or pursuit.

[samsonthebrave]

100days - 93: Imagined Reality

Most of the time I am imagining a world that will never be even if it’s only 5 minutes into the future or 30 minutes into the past. Even now has its imagined future.

100Days - 91: Confrontation

If the phone is an extension of ourselves than anything which confronts our relationship with our phones therefore is a confrontation of our sense of self.

100Days - 90: Memories

Happy birthday day. I have fond memories of throwing eggs at you.

[samsonthebrave]

100days - 89: Stream

line

100Day - 88: Connection

Let me put my brain in your head. Just a little. So our minds might meld. So when we walk away we have a piece of us with each other.

[samsonthebrave]

100days - 87: Dirty Minds

Dirty minds and the passage of time. Over in a moment, but the moment feels like eternity might as well live it like prince. 

[samsonthebrave]

100days - 82: Phone and Ourselves

The phone is an extension of ourselves. I am simply making our unseen relationship visible.

[samsonthebrave]

100days - 81: Evidence

Nothing is self evident. Just as this is.

[samsonthebrave]

100days - 80: Off the Bandwagon

Life is slippery. Sometimes I don’t even know it’s going by. Or at least the missing posts for 100 days.
