Burke being able to replace her identity reflect society today with things like video games which allow you to control an avatar or even being able to simply hide your identity with Facebook? ]]> 2018-02-21 19:16:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jhorcasi/riis71xeikkx/wish/233939413 jhorcasi https://padlet.com/jhorcasi/riis71xeikkx/wish/233939653
The way in which GTX blindly uses technology for its own economic purposes seems to raise ethical questions about who should control the progression of technology. Should businesses be allowed to develop and exploit advancements in technology for their own gain? ]]> 2018-02-21 19:17:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jhorcasi/riis71xeikkx/wish/233939653 jhorcasi https://padlet.com/jhorcasi/riis71xeikkx/wish/233940293 2018-02-21 19:18:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jhorcasi/riis71xeikkx/wish/233940293 jhorcasi https://padlet.com/jhorcasi/riis71xeikkx/wish/233940515 2018-02-21 19:18:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jhorcasi/riis71xeikkx/wish/233940515 jhorcasi https://padlet.com/jhorcasi/riis71xeikkx/wish/233940846 2018-02-21 19:19:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jhorcasi/riis71xeikkx/wish/233940846 jhorcasi https://padlet.com/jhorcasi/riis71xeikkx/wish/233941085 2018-02-21 19:19:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jhorcasi/riis71xeikkx/wish/233941085 jhorcasi https://padlet.com/jhorcasi/riis71xeikkx/wish/234045462 Technology transforms P. Burke's position in her community by providing her with a body that aligns with society's beauty standards, while also giving Burke a different perspective, ultimately creating a facade to hide who she truly is.

Evidence:
"She's a child solemn..." (7).

Evidence:
"Nor for Delphi..." (20)

Burke had the opportunity to live the life she''s always idolized, living as Delphi. Although this takes place in the future, this isn't so far in our society today. We hide behind picture-perfect versions of ourselves, in an attempt to conform to our "gods" or idols on social media in real life. Whether this be a physical or mental alteration, this gives us the illusion of confidence and happiness. 

Evidence: "She's child solemn, a beautiful baby" (7)]]> 2018-02-22 00:52:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jhorcasi/riis71xeikkx/wish/234045503 jhorcasi https://padlet.com/jhorcasi/riis71xeikkx/wish/234045540 Businesses shouldn't be able to use the vulnerability or weaknesses of an imperfect woman for their own gain. Unlike in "The Girl Who Was Plugged In," where they didn't explain exactly what they were using her for, businesses need to explain exactly what they are using their woman for and let them decide for themselves. 

Evidence: Conversation with the company of what she is signing up for, how they are using her body.
