We Are All Cyborgs Now

This video demonstrated how technology is helping humans advance. By being intellectual beings we have adapted to technology, as well as advanced it. At any time we can connect with one another, and connect with multiples, at a single time. Because of technology we have are able to branch out and have instant gratification. 

The idea of human vs. technology, actual, is not an opposing situation; they go hand in hand. The physical aspect is portrayed through online information where humans can depict themselves. The mental aspect is that the technology works faster than our brains can function. Technology can speak to multiple people at once, which makes it easier for us as humans to adapt and grow.

Steve Jobs : How To Live Before You Die

He speaks wise words to give the upcoming generation hope through his own personal stories and beliefs. He spoke of troubles and how he over came them, and to also never lose faith. 

Jobs was not a college graduate, his family was not rich, and he even got kicked out of the business he started. But he never gave up, and he always continued on with what he loved. By following his heart it led him to his own success and fame, as well as strength and joy.
