[ExI] Transhumanist Apps

[Natasha Vita-More]

Hi everyone -

 

I am working on a project and need your help.  If you can provide any
information or ideas on the following it would be great! All contributions
will be included in the references of the project and any work that you are
doing will be credited and referenced.

 

1.     What wearable technologies (including hand held devises, appendable
devises, and other technological interfaces and software for human use):

a.     What apps are in use, being developed, or might be developed for
humans to better understand their physical bodies?

                                          i.    This concerns issues such as
physical health - (e.g., apps that might monitor a person's hormone level,
glucose level, etc.)

                                         ii.    This concerns issues of
physical exercise - (e.g., apps that might help a person who is at the gym,
which would have her exercise routine, or for running a marathon that might
encourage the runner to keep going!)

                                        iii.    This concerns issues such as
mental health - (e.g., apps that might connect people if they feel lonely,
depressed, etc.)

                                        iv.    This might concern issues
such as a person drinking too much alcohol, drugs, etc. (e.g., an app that
remind a person that he is not supposed to be having more than 2 glasses of
wine, or not to have more than 3 cigarettes a day, etc.)

b.    What apps are in use, being developed, or might be developed for
humans become more intelligent?

                                          i.    This might be apps that
would help a person with his memory by reminding him to make visual or
verbal associations, etc. .

                                         ii.    Or, this might be apps that
would help a person with mathematics, linguistics, aesthetics - etc.

2.     What apps do you think we need to create that would help humans
become transhuman or posthuman?

3.     What do you think we need to create that would help a person better
understand ways in which s/he could become aware of posthuman futures, the
singularity, etc?

a.     What apps are in use, being developed, or might be developed for
humans to enhance (human enhancement).

b.    What apps might remind a person about choices s/he makes that could
affect his future longevity?

 

 

Thanks,

Natasha
