Not Your Father's Cyborgs: Mobile Tech Evolved Us

Description:

People “disconnect,” “tune-in,” “recharge,” “link-up,” and “go on auto-pilot.” They use devices to access their digital selves, an elusive identity both separate and indistinguishable from their real selves. And not only are humans becoming more machine-like, but technology is expected to be more and more human-like.

We will explore the history of how mobile technology and social media have evolved human culture and identity, as well as the implications for how brands look, feel, and sound in a world where the line between human and cyborg has never been more blurred.
