My favourite quote of the day from Gies: “How material are cyberbodies? Broadband internet and embodied subjectivity”
“It is important to stress, however, that rather than taking us into entirely new directions, our ‘cyber selves’ (Aas, 2007) constitute merely an additional layer to already densely structured social identities.”
This seems to be in total contrast to the cyborg idea that creates a whole new vision of humankind. Will need to think about this…

Well said
