Why “anthropotechnics” is a great word
ANTHROPOTECHNICS — [Noun] The applied science of the intimate integration of humans and machines, particularly where the human form or function is technologically augmented. From the Greek combining form anthropo- (from ἄνθρωπος, ánthrōpos, "human") and -technics (from τέχνη, tékhnē, "art, skill, craft"). Unlike ergonomics, which fits the machine to the unaltered human, or transhumanism, which champions a transformative ideology, anthropotechnics is the practical, often ambivalent, workshop where the integration occurs. It is the cold touch of a prosthetic sensor syncing with a nerve, the subdermal hum of a data chip, and the silent calibration of an algorithm learning desire—the quiet documentation of a being becoming its own most intricate artifact, where the self is no longer a given, but a technical specification.
