Were all cyborgs now, no?

Obviously. If you go with the original definition of what that means.

That we extend ourselves in order to cope with environments we weren't evolved for.

Here's the kicker.

I've come to realize that this is one of the most human things to do. Resist the generalities that pop up and consider this instead.

Culture. A non physical pitri dish of..well human things. Information. Conclusions. Conventions.

In cognitive science, as in anthropology, one might consider how we store information outside our heads. Books, rituals, buttons and physical things trigger us, they literally take part in the the computation one might think happens in the mind.

The same is true for culture. We couldn't imagine growing up in a world not shaped by those who came before. I hope this makes sense. Down to the first things we do after we're born it's all scaffolded by culture. Humans, even more so than say chimps, can't achieve humanity without the scaffold of a culture. Wipe the minds of a few hundred people and drop them on the savannah and see what happens. Not pretty.

It's not that your cellphone makes you a Cyborg, it's that being human makes you a Cyborg.

Discomfort, anyone?

I'm sure I've seen similar ideas to this, perhaps I'll remember where and edit.

Interlacing forms

Play along? Had the idea for some time to interlace forms into posts, and use your submits to continually enrich them. 7 + + True 9 + + + + Totally True 8 + + + So True 6  + Kinda 5 ~ Meh 4 - Neh 3 - - Not 2 - - - So Not 1 - - - - Totally Not 0 @$&%! Can you see any way this might work? 7 + + True 9 + + + + Totally True 8 + + + So True 6  + Kinda 5 ~ Meh 4 - Neh 3 - - Not 2 - - - So Not 1 - - - - Totally Not 0 @$&%!

If I'm right one could make it into a funly engaging . It might actually make forms/blogs into something .What am I missing? 
One thing this might do is let you quickly and privately offer feedback on specific ideas in the post, like this one. 7 + + True 9 + + + + Totally True 8 + + + So True 6  + Kinda 5 ~ Meh 4 - Neh 3 - - Not 2 - - - So Not 1 - - - - Totally Not 0 @$&%!This has advantages to the usual deal of answering everything at once 7 + + True 9 + + + + Totally True 8 + + + So True 6  + Kinda 5 ~ Meh 4 - Neh 3 - - Not 2 - - - So Not 1 - - - - Totally Not 0 @$&%!Thoughts?

Semantic commenting, academic?

See if you recognize this from anywhere.
John makes a point J and firmly strands behind it.  Jessica strongly disagrees and articulates reason JJ. Steve sees the logic in JJ and supports Jessica in opposition of J. Johns point J is facing stiff opposition.  Mary takes part in the discussion and  strongly supports Johns point J. Mary argues for J with reason JM and against JJ with answer JJM. Apparently Marys points hit the mark because when Stefan and Rebecka join the discussion they both take Marys view and strongly support J, JM and oppose JJ. Stefan articulates his reasoning in JS which seals the argument by offering a solution to the issue Jessica raised.

Know of anything that works like this? Where? 

It's not a graph, it's a network. It's similar to reviews since an argument is a rating and also a comment in some cases.

Imagine each step in the process sending you an alert,  like a chat with a link. Would this be useful in proofing ideas and reaching decisions? 

I'm thinking this exchange is qualitatively different from what we have today, and could have a positive impact in many ways.

The box in corner

That things that pops up in the corner, with the tweet in it, it's an experiment of mine. It works on touch screen as well by the way.

The idea if pretty simplistic. Drag it up by the great area to vote on it. Higher is better.

You get to engage with tweets from the site owner in a fun way while giving feedback.

Think there's something here?
