Title: application of technological terms to the body, mind and human relationships, or, we become the tool
Product review: The eastern churches, for example, banned musical instruments because they were believed to diminish the spirit. No one in the eastern church ever refers to him or her self as "an instrument of god."When one picks up a tool, one both limits oneself while extending one's abilities.People talk about interfacing with each other now. An interface is something between two computers.As you have probably surmised, my argument is only with Belkin's terminology. I believe it dooms his book.I could never call anything brilliant that suggests 'human software.' The conceit dissappoints.I gave a star only because the amazon commenting program requires a star rating. It is intended to mean nothing. I am critiquing only the terminology here.
