The word ‘cyborg’ was born the same year as me. Kevin Kelly celebrates with this thought provoking piece on how we have always been cyborgs. Technology defines us in a very real sense as we have co-evolved with it. Good stuff.
I am a professional learner, employed as a Full Professor and Associate Dean, Learning & Assessment, at Athabasca University, where I research lots of things broadly in the area of learning and technology, and I teach mainly in the School of Computing & Information Systems. I am a proud Canadian, though I was born in the UK. I am married, with two grown-up children, and three growing-up grandchildren. We all live in beautiful Vancouver.
