Everyday Robots and the Social Network of Things
Damon Albarn, famed for his frontman role in the bands Blur and Gorillaz, released this great music video "Everyday Robots" a few months ago. The lyrics provide a subtle and powerful critique of our relationship with technology and were a great soundtrack as our team crafted Cyborgs and The Social Network of Things, a visual guide to our progression from the information age and the Internet of Things (IoT) towards what might be called an age of cyborgs. You can read more about the Cyborgs and the Social Network of Things here on the Causeit site.
We are grateful to the NTT Innovation Institute, Inc. (which is affectionately called NTTi3, or NTT-i-cubed when said aloud) where I serve as a Cyborg Anthropologist in Residence, whose funding and support has made production of Cyborgs and The Social Network of Things piece possible.
Stay tuned for a video version of Cyborgs and The Social Network of Things soon and a more formal release as we progress further.
