Cyborg anthropology

Director of Esri R&D center, Amber Case, studies the symbiotic interactions with humans and technology.These studies are called cyborg anthropology. Cyborg anthropology is research of technology and how it can be used to help mankind. Amber Case is working on projects for technology to replace missing or damaged body parts.

Amber Case spoke with CNN answering Questions about her research. CNN asked "what Exactly is a cyborg"? when asked Amber stated "a cyborg is not a terminator or a robocop a cyborg is simply one who interacts with technology. To be honest i am very curious about this new concept of technology I would think this type of machinery is generations away. There is a lot to be concerned about i am wondering what would happen if there was a glitch or malfunction in the machine, there is so much that could go wrong.

Amber Case, The remarkable inventor, Answers questions on about how she got inspired to work with cyborg anthropology.  Ms. Case said "I was very interested in technology when i was young my favorite invention was the computer, i wanted to learn how to make technology more advance for humans". In my opinion she seems to be very dedicated to her line of work and trying to make our lives easier. There are tons of questions I would like to ask Amber about her interest in cyborg anthropology such as when could this technology be in the streets.

I can take responsibility for my learning by looking up Esri R&D center and learn about their inventions they are in the progress of creating. I could also start learning how many people could use this technology in there life.

In conclusion Amber Case works nonstop to find away to make syfi into a reality. one of the biggest questions i ask, is this type of technology possible?
