So
another week has gone by and another week of ruminating has taken place.
In
the interests of sharing, I have told a few people about what is coming up and
it mostly has been received with perplexed faces, I must admit "I've been
called for an upgrade," doesn't naturally flow in 2016 conversation, maybe
in 2116 it will be a more regular part of dialogue.
The
people I have told have either made it into a joke, ahh... getting a new
head, (Oh, I so wish I could ...) type of thing, or have needed the full on technical description
of what an upgrade actually entails. So depending on the viewpoint I either am
now feeling:
A
joke: I am
such a bloody freak I do new a new head as the current one is so awful it needs
upgrading for 'normalities' sake
Or
A
techie: I am
a full on cyborg, I have been reduced to describing myself in the terms of
circuitry and gigabytes in light of my new blue tooth functionality and
improved operating systems.
Of
course, my sole and enduring 'want/need' in this life, is to be human. I feel
like one of the robots yearning for humaneness in Isaac Asimov's
Bicentennial Man, but ironically which each new 'upgrade' it's taking me
further away from being human.
