I think that there is a very fine line between technology and human innovation. That fine line is when the technological innovation starts to harm humans. That is not the case here with Geraldine Hamilton’s organs on a chip. With this organ on a chip, there are no humans being hurt. She is using cells to try to stimulate accurate representations of a human body. She is doing this to try to help the world of medicine. Using these chips, she can test cures for certain diseases and even test medicine for specific people. Not all people are the same so she can take specific people’s cells and test if they would react in a fatal or non fatal way to a drug. She gives an example in her talk, when she explains how she had a headache and took an advil, then fifteen minutes later, she was rushed to an emergency room (Hamilton). This shows how differently people can react to different types of medicine. Using this technology could end up saving so many lives in the long run.

This shows how differently people can react to different types of medicine. Using this technology could end up saving so many lives in the long run. I think that human innovation is gradually becoming dependent on technology but for a good reason. Technology can do many things that humans cannot. We can program technology to do various different things that are more faster and efficient than we could do ourselves. We should use technology to our advantage, to help us improve ourselves and everyone around us. I think that it is a very powerful tool which can help us make the world a better place for everyone. An example is this organ on a chip technology that could potentially eliminate the need for animal testing which has so many ethical issues. Another example is when we use technology to give people prosthetic arms and legs to people who were born with none. I think that technology is an amazing thing, it is helping us make huge strides in medicine and beyond.

The idea of Paleolithic humans giving a tangible visible representation to intangible symbolic imagery they were “seeing” in their heads through altered states of consciousness (visions, dreams, hallucinations, trance). We have a better understanding of our brain’s visual mechanics in our own time but we as humans still routinely tap into altered states of consciousness, whether it’s through daydreaming, roleplaying (ex. Cosplay) meditation, dance, substance use, or escapism into virtual worlds such as video games, movies, music, art, social media.

-WHAT, IN YOUR OPINION, IS THE APPEAL OF AN ALTERED STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS FOR US AS HUMANS?

-If you find yourself wanting to “unplug” from reality in an altered state, what feeling are you after and is there a visual component to it?

-How can we relate our own state of altered consciousness in modern times, back to the Paleolithic humans and their interest in recording visions they saw in their heads on the walls of caves?

Ethically, autonomous cars mixed together on the roads with human-operated cars raises a scary picture in my mind. If autonomous cars are running on the mindset of saving the greater good, and human operated cars are also on this roadway with the mindset of saving their own self… I am unsure of how that would turn out. It is a bit frightening to think about. It is also frightening to think about being a passenger in an autonomous car. As a passenger, you would be putting your faith and life into the hands of a machine, designed by humans, which may be prone to some type of error. Yes, the machine would not make human mistakes as to drink and drive or to text and drive, but there is still the chance of some type of error on the machine's part. As the speaker said, society needs to determine which trade-offs they are willing to make.
