Becoming cyborg: Beware inequalities ahead
For the past couple of months I have been exploring a different kind of technology, the biological ones. You see, I need a new neck. Most of the big news in medical technology seems these days to revolve around genetic discoveries. Nevertheless, the first kind of commonly used advanced medical technologies will be in medical devices. In fact, if you have an older relative, they probably already have an artificial knee, hip or device that assists in the operation of key bodily functions. We'll all be somewhat cyborg before we ever start routinely relying on gene therapies, which are many years from widespread use. Most people I talk to about this expect something from the Six Million Dollar Man when they think of replacement joints. No, I will not be able to jack up a car with my neck after this surgery.
Israel Sex Festival Sextival Penetrates Tel Aviv
Hanger 11 in the northern Tel Aviv port can now boast the proud record for having the most vibrating plastic dildos in one place in the Middle East. For many the soft, skin like rocket shaped devices, oils, candles and live erotic shows spelled relief for the enlightened citizens of this tiny Jewish nation. A free and tolerant democracy which lives under the constant and lethal threat of more deadly shaped rockets from Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran and Syria. The three day sex festival known as Sextival began as chilly, winter weather embraced those who approached Hanger 11, an old customs building and warehouse now turned into a huge special event hall. Passing by the many elegant and exclusive restaurants, stylish clothing stores, jazz clubs and stray cats on the boardwalk one had a sense of being out of place going to a "sex festival" in Tel Aviv, Israel.
