Authors@Google: Michael Chorost
Author Michael Chorost visits Google's headquarters in Mountain View, CA, to discuss his book "Rebuilt: How Becoming Part Computer Made Me More Human". This event took place on June 30, 2008, as a part of of the Authors@google series. Michael Chorost became a cyborg on October 1, 2001, the day his new ear was booted up. Born hard of hearing in 1964, he went completely deaf in his thirties. Rather than live in silence, he chose to have a computer surgically embedded in his skull to artificially restore his hearing. This is the story of Chorost's journey -- from deafness to hearing, from human to cyborg -- and how it transformed him. The melding of silicon and flesh has long been the stuff of science fiction. But as Chorost reveals in this witty, poignant, and illuminating memoir, fantasy is now giving way to reality. For more information about Michael Chorost and Rebuilt, visit www.rebuilt-thebook.com Michael Chorost has a BA from Brown University and a Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin. He lives in San Francisco, where he writes, teaches, and consults.

Michael chorost

Michael Chorost
DCArt Science Evening Rendezvous (DASER), May 19, 2011 held at the National Academy of Sciences, Washington DC. 4 of 5 DASER videos Michael Chorost is a technology theorist with an unusual perspective: his body is the future. In 2001 he went completely deaf and had a computer implanted in his head to let him hear again. This transformative experience inspired his first book, Rebuilt: How Becoming Part Computer Made Me More Human. He wrote about how mastering his new ear, a cochlear implant, enabled him to enhance his creative potential as a human being. The critics agreed; in 2006 Rebuilt won the PEN/USA Book Award for Creative Nonfiction. Shortly afterward it was reprinted in paperback under the new title Rebuilt: My Journey Back to the Hearing World. Dr. Chorost earned his BA at Brown University and studied computer programming, Renaissance drama, and cultural theory on the way to his Ph.D. at UT-Austin. He doesn't draw sharp lines between programming, science, writing, and art; to him, these are all profoundly creative human endeavors. This freewheeling approach infuses his second book, World Wide Mind: The Coming Integration of Humanity, Machines, and the Internet. In this book he ups the ante, proposing that humanity can incorporate the computer into its collective soul in a way that enhances communities and creative work instead of diminishing them. As a freelance science writer he has written for Wired, The Washington Post, Technology Review, and The Scientist ...

Book event: world wide mind

Book Event: World Wide Mind
What if digital communication felt as real as being touched? This question led acclaimed science writer Michael Chorost to explore profound new ideas triggered by lab research around the world, and has resulted in World Wide Mind: The Coming Integration of Humanity, Machines and the Internet (Free Press; February 2011) — the first book to explain exactly how humans and computers could be merged and the risks, implications, and amazing possibilities that await us in the future. World Wide Mind takes mind-to-mind communication out of the realm of science fiction and reveals how we are on the verge of a radical new understanding of human interaction. Please see the video above for a March 21 conversation with writer Michael Chorost on how we communicate, how we can connect more fully with one another in a hyper technological age, and how our addiction to email and texting can be countered with technologies that put us—literally—in each other's minds.

Cochlear implant is a cyborg-enhanced hearing aid!

Cochlear Implant is a Cyborg-enhanced hearing aid!
In American Sign Language (ASL), I want to share with you all about my view on cochlear implant as like in the science fiction Star Trek drama. "You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile. (You will be absorb into other culture of cyborgization. Ability to resist the influence is completely ineffective) is a famous quote from the Star Trek Borgs who changed its aliens into their culture and under the control of the Borg Queen. It made me wonder if the deaf culture is now become the new definition of the deaf culture as the deaf cyborg culture since the cochlear implant is now inserting into the human being and enhanced their hearing abilities. ***** I found the interesting article about the cyborgization in the humans. I just copied from the Wikipedia (Cyborg). Here is the article: There are two important and different types of cyborgs in medicine: these are the restorative and the enhanced. Restorative technologies restore lost function, organs, and limbs The key aspect of restorative cyborgization is the repair of broken or missing processes to revert to a healthy or average level of function. There is no enhancement to the original faculties and processes that were lost. ***** On the contrary, the enhanced cyborg follows a principle, and it is the principle of optimal performance: maximising output (the information or modifications obtained) and minimising input (the energy expended in the process) . Thus, the enhanced cyborg intends to exceed normal processes or ...

2008 usc body computing conference 2.0: keynote address

2008 USC Body Computing Conference 2.0: Keynote Address
The 2008University of Southern California Body Computing Conference was held at USC on October 24, 2008, hosted by Leslie Saxon, chief of the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California. The keynote address was presented by Michael Chorost, author of Rebuilt: How Becoming Part Computer Made Me More Human. Dr. Chorost gave an illuminating talk on the intersection of technology, medicine, and humanity. A dual cochlear implant recipient, he is a real-life cyborg, and has become a leading advocate and thinker in the field of body computing. His research and knowledge of the field are vast, and his unique perspective as both an advocate and recipient of the technology is invaluable.

The human : brain matters (pbs) part 3/4 hd

The Human : Brain Matters (PBS) Part 3/4 HD
Please Subscribe To The Main WhyEvolutionIsTrue Youtube Channel. www.youtube.com PBS Documentary List: tinyurl.com The Human Spark Episode List: tinyurl.com Broadcast (2010) In the futuristic setting of the Laboratory of Neuro Imaging at the University of California, Los Angeles, Alan gets a highly detailed scan of his brain -- which for a man in his early 70s, is in remarkably good shape. This image, projected on a huge curved screen behind him, is the starting point for a search within his brain -- as well as the brains of others -- for the essential components of the Human Spark; a search informed by what the previous two programs have revealed about the attributes that make humans unique. What is the nature of human uniqueness? Where did "The Human Spark" ignite, and when? And perhaps most tantalizingly, why? In this three-part series, Alan Alda takes these questions personally, visiting with dozens of scientists on three continents, and participating directly in many experiments -- including the detailed examination of his own brain. Bringing his trademark humor and curiosity to face-to-face conversations with leading researchers, he seeks "The Human Spark" -- from archaeologists finding clues in the fossilized bones and tools of our ancestors; to primatologists studying our nearest living relatives to explore what we have in common and what sets us apart; to neuroscientists peering into his mind with the latest brain scanning technologies.
