Hello everyone,

My name is Isabelle, I'm currently in second year studying a Bach. of Arts majoring in Psyc. Up until June I lived in Mandurah..which is a nice place...during the day...when it's summer...and the bogans are hiding...



I am a fantasy novel lover, gluten free eater, facebook addictee, and enjoyer of random things like these pictures of stuff made from lego. I've been working as a secretary for the last 2 and a half years so naturally I keep fairly updated on the Cheezburger Network, most notably Fail Blog and Picture is Unrelated. A friend of mine and I sometimes swap pictures of odd cute animals we come across, most recently this fluff ball to the right.



I've never really been big on the blogging community (except for reading my travelling friends blogs) purely because I never believe I have much to add that people havn't already ranted on about before and whenever I think of brilliant ideas or have crazy realisations I can never recall them when i get an opportunity to write it down. I blame this on alcoholic binge drinking from far too young of an age (Mandurah is a boring, boring place). So that's my goal with this unit, if I remember something, i'll make sure to rabble on about it straight away.



I enjoy new technologies very much, except for when it comes to explaining to my parents how to use them (seriously, you want to print this? Click the button that LOOKS LIKE A PRINTER!! uuggghh), although I'm still a little bit in the past with keeping up with it all (still playing the N64 on the non digital TV....with a broken remote). I realised from the lecture today that I've writen random thoughts about the day and all that, quite a bit in the past just on random pages of paper (journals are lame). I never thought about sharing it though. I never thought anyone would be all that interested really!



Anyway, something I was thinking last week sometime was that I believe that the more we establish more sophisticated technologies the more we will fuzz the line between robots and humans and people will care less and less. Just like how it never even occur to me that orthodontic braces are a form of trying to perfect yourself, much like plastic surgery. It's so common these days that I always thought when I was younger that if you had munt teeth, and could afford it, you got braces. It's just the way things are. We've become so accepting of this perfectionist culture, and if robotics become more of a part of this, I doubt (after the initial outcry), people will raise much of a fuss.



So yes, thats a bit about me and things.
