I think it's cool how even though Tom Brady is one of the most famous athletes in the world he still shares his private life with the world, but at the same time his life is full of houses and cars and vacations that the normal person could never dream of having.

Travels in Hyper Identity

Wether influenced by technological factors, evolutionary, or more likely both, I think it's not improbable that our bodies will modify, transgress and break the boundaries of our current human skin. While it's all speculation, a small, ghostly version has already occured-through our digital presence aka trans-bodily internet expressions. Internet clones, 'deepfakes', impersonation, we've already encountered a potent combination of expressing internal consciousness within a different set of parameters. No matter what, I think it we consider ourselves human, we will consider ourselves to have a body.

I really thought I would fail at this since I am not the most nimble person on this earth, but I just ripped the film canister to pieces with my fingers, cut off the leader, found the bearings and wound it. Not too hard!
