Hi, need to submit a 1250 words essay on the topic Anim and Cyberpunk: Armitage III & Animatrix.

Cyborg is a science-fiction terminology used to describe cybermetic beings. Cyborgs are applied in cinematography to demonstrate the impacts of overdependence on technology. It is evident that in the near future scientists will have the ability to produce artificial body parts such as arms, eyes, ears, and heart. This concludes that humans may remain to be just as a brain that controls an artificial body. This report analyzes the role of cyborgs and post humanity. The report also examines the role of technology in shaping our identity with reference to Armitage III &amp. Animatrix movies. Cyborgs vs. humans The conflict between humanity and technology is becoming increasingly evident. Although we are not likely to achieve a total substitution of humans through technology, the future of human existence in a world full of technology is unclear. According to Greenfield, necessity motivates invention (web). However, most inventions have been in the field of technology thereby threatening human identity. Robot developers have taken it as a challenge to develop robots that can perform tasks similar to those performed by humans. This has been motivated by the need to increase productivity or work in remote environments. The movie Ammitage III depicts a scene in 2046, when the earth would have become overpopulated. To avoid a population crash scenario, humans will colonize planet mars. Colonization of planet mars is made possible with the aid of “first type” androids, which are assigned the role of rehabilitating Martian environment for human inhabitation. In addition, the androids help to build the first city in Martian environment named Saint Lowell. Seventy years after the colonization of mars, the city is inhibited by people and second type robots, which are more sophisticated than the first type androids. The film demonstrates the role of technology in human development and identity. According to the movie, the first phase of loss of human identity will result from the ability of humans to overcome their shortcomings. Thus, technology has made people to lose the element of human limitations. Elimination of human shortcomings will be the first phase toward the loss of human identity. According to Bostrom, humans are increasingly becoming redundant due to technology (234). This indicates a threat to human existence that may result from loss of human values. People are increasingly becoming lazy across different generations therefore, creating a demand for technological application. The idea of cyborgs that act and or think like human will be the peak of technological developments (Chislenko web). This indicates that humans will consider themselves inferior or equal to the cyborgs. For instance, Armitage III demonstrates that people living in the Martian colony could not differentiate between real humans and the thirds. In addition, children born to the Martian immigrants did not have an idea of how a real human looked like or values of humanity. Due to the cyborgs’ superiority, people will consider undergoing a transformation that would replace some of their body parts with artificial ones. Therefore, technology has made people consider themselves as inferior beings. This aspect is common in cinemas where filmmakers tend to use characters with superhuman abilities. Although technology is likely to interfere with human existence and routine, some people will retain or value true human identity.
