商品描述

Practitioners and scholars explore ethical, social, and conceptual issues arising in relation to such devices as fitness monitors, neural implants, and a toe-controlled computer mouse.

Body-centered computing now goes beyond the "wearable" to encompass implants, bionic technology, and ingestible sensors--technologies that point to hybrid bodies and blurred boundaries between human, computer, and artificial intelligence platforms. Such technologies promise to reconfigure the relationship between bodies and their environment, enabling new kinds of physiological interfacing, embodiment, and productivity. Using the term embodied computing to describe these devices, this book offers essays by practitioners and scholars from a variety of disciplines that explore the accompanying ethical, social, and conceptual issues.

The contributors examine technologies that range from fitness monitors to neural implants to a toe-controlled mouse. They discuss topics that include the policy implications of ingestibles; the invasive potential of body area networks, which transmit data from bodily devices to the internet; cyborg experiments, linking a human brain directly to a computer; the evolution of the ankle monitor and other intrusive electronic monitoring devices; fashiontech, which offers users an aura of "cool" in exchange for their data; and the "final frontier" of technosupremacism: technologies that seek to read our minds. Taken together, the essays show the importance of considering embodied technologies in their social and political contexts rather than in isolated subjectivity or in purely quantitative terms.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

從學者和實踐者的角度探討與健身監測器、神經植入物和腳控電腦滑鼠等設備相關的倫理、社會和概念問題。

身體中心計算現在已經超越了「可穿戴」的範疇,涵蓋了植入物、仿生技術和可食用感測器等技術,這些技術指向了混合身體和人類、電腦和人工智能平台之間模糊的界限。這些技術承諾重新配置身體與環境之間的關係,實現新型的生理接口、具身化和生產力。本書使用「具身計算」一詞來描述這些設備,提供了來自不同學科的實踐者和學者的文章,探討相應的倫理、社會和概念問題。

貢獻者們討論了從健身監測器到神經植入物再到腳控滑鼠等各種技術。他們討論的主題包括可食用感測器的政策影響、從身體設備到互聯網傳輸數據的身體區域網絡的侵入潛力、將人類大腦直接連接到計算機的人機實驗、腳踝監測器和其他侵入性電子監測設備的演變、以數據交換使用者的「酷」氛圍的時尚科技,以及尋求讀取我們思想的技術的「最後的邊疆」。這些文章共同展示了在社會和政治背景下考慮具身技術的重要性,而不是僅僅從孤立的主觀性或純粹的定量角度來看待。
