What is Cyborg Anthropology?

Have you ever heard of Cyborg Anthropology? Well here is your chance to learn all about it! Amber Case is a "digital philosopher" and "cyborg anthropologist". She was named one of the top 50 most influential women in tech by Fast Company.

Each member is asked to take a few moments to read the article about Amber Case and do some thinking about the inter-relations between technology and the human experience. Surf the net and learn more about cyborg anthropology. You can also follow Amber at @caseorganic on Twitter. If you find additional information that you think would be interesting to the group prior to the session, send me a link and I will add it to this description.

Note: Amber Case will not be attending our event, she is just the spark of inspiration for our discussion.



Now for the fun part - bring along your favorite technological tool or application to share with the rest of the group.


If anyone would like to contribute snacks/refreshments, please let me know.

Note: If your profile does not include your entire name and you plan to attend, please send it to me in an email so that I can submit your name to building security. Thanks!
