When we first received this blog topic, I was almost positive I would pick one of the three bodies that were enhanced by technology. However, after reading the article again, I have concluded that the natural body is most fitting for me. Although the lure of being one with technology sounds interesting and cool, Mischa Peters describes the three alternatives in a very cold, unsettling manner.
That being said, I still believe the advanced interaction between human and machine is very important. Technology is always improving, and we should embrace these breakthroughs by applying them to everyday life. I cannot wait for the day that computers no longer need mice or keyboards, and can instead respond to our eye movements or brain activities, similar to how computers connect to a Bluetooth device. The line must be drawn when the technology becomes an actual part of our body or an extension of our body. At first it seems tempting, but at the same time it scares me.

I agree with your choice of the natural body. At first, you would think that one of the other bodies would be the most beneficial. However, the way that they are described draws me away from them. I also think interaction between human and technology is important, but I still choose to remain as the natural body.
