First of all, as much as I love technology it totally blows. We become so dependent on it that we assume it will 'naturally' just work for us, hence me believing my blogpost had posted itself and without double checking to make sure it had (me, relying on technology) left the computer and now here I am rewriting! So I apologize to Courtney for this post taking so long to come up, and to my other fellow bloggers if someone was left without a blog to comment on. With that out of the way here goes:
Eve Shapiro has totally figured it out. She has truly come to understand the way technology has shaped the way societies view gender and the body itself. I particularly enjoy her arguments between gender and biomedical technology and all the "ologies" that are linked to the medical field. Elaborating on social scripts shaping us as individuals and societies she has been able to argue biomedical technology as a mediator between our physical and mental lives. It is true that when we miss class or work we must legitimize our sickness through doctors notes to let our 'superior' know why we were not present. What Shapiro says is why can we not let whoever know on a personal account of how we were feeling. Our bodies are our source of knowledge, and where do we as humans draw the line of how much to trust our bodies over technological innovations - as we have been thought to believe technology knows best.
Her argument can connect with the AIDS PSA video. Yes, technology has encouraged us to help the AIDS crisis and reverse the effects of the awful disease but our physical and mental bodies let us know when something is not right - not technology. On Page 30, Shapiro brings up feminist philosopher Donna Haraway who argues we have all become cyborgs especially now with such biotechnology tools recrafting our bodies. Through social scripts, AIDS was seen as the victims problem, that it was their fault they got the disease. Well...we didn't know there was such a thing in existence until it came about - same with cancer and all the other crazy diseases a human can come in contact with. The AIDS epidemic is prevalent and affects a huge amount of people across the world yet (for me) it feels it has been pushed aside in so many ways because of the social script that was created between the link of AIDS and gays. Yet on the positive side we have to acknowledge how technology has been good to us in the effort to find a cure for this nasty epidemic.
We've figured out how to get to space, no? We have all this advanced technology. Then, let's figure out how to save more lives, right?
