In my paper I chose to discuss the dangers of the dependence on technology. One of the aspects of this topic is the possibility of cyborgs becoming more of a reality and ultimitely being used against humans. Cyborgs of our creation or someone elses could end up being used by their creators against us, or developing a community of their own and rising up against us for control of the planet. This was addressed in the Cyborg Manifesto by Hathaway as well.
Cyborgs could be "the final imposition of the grid of control on the planet, and the final abstraction used in Star Wars apocalypse waged in the name of defenct," (Haraway, 8)
