The visuals impaired~ week 5~ Making sense: cognition, computing, art and embodiment by Simon Penny

In "making sense; cognition, computing, Art, and Embodiment", Simon Penny talks about how computers are cognitive machines. We are one with machines and they are an extension of us. He also talks about how "computing offers new possibilities for new kinds of cultural practices such as social media, online gaming, online chatbots, and global multimedia information exchange" (xxviii). He also talks about dualism of computations, the slang created from computations, and the problematic nature of the dualistic mind frame that is continually promoted because of computation. Essentially, we took words from ourselves to describe machines, and now we are using those changed words to define ourselves in computation terms.
