It's strange that we create tech and then we apply it to machines, when we could apply it to ourselves. Cars can now detect if something is behind them, but we don't have this ability. Why are we applying such a simple sense to a car when we could apply it to ourselves?

  • -- Neil Harbisson 哈比森

奇怪的是,我们创造了技术,然后把它应用到机器上,而我们可以把它应用到我们自己身上。汽车现在可以探测到背后是否有东西,但我们没有这种能力。为什么我们要把这样一个简单的概念应用到汽车上,而我们可以把它应用到我们自己身上呢?
