Coping with this new means liberating ourselves from such categories as \u2018human,\u2019 \u2018technological,\u2019 and \u2018natural\u2019 to embrace a new techno-human relationship\u201d (Allenby & Sarewitz). \u201cGrowing up I always considered the interaction of humanity and technology presented in the original Star Trek series as a fairly accurate representation of the way things would someday go.
