Technotranscendence

"iPod Therefore iAm."?

According to Giesler's preliminary research,
the iPod isn't simply an updated Walkman. It's
an entirely new beast: a revolutionary device
that transforms listeners into "cyborgs" through
a process he calls "technotranscendence."

Gosh, maybe my browser transcended or something...thanks.

Giesler says consumers have become "technotranscendent."

I say they have become "distracted."

Very interesting...thanks for posting it.
