Since the introduction and proliferation of the Internet, problems involved with maintaining cybersecurity has grown exponentially, and have evolved into many forms of exploitation. Yet, Cybersecurity has had far too little study and research. Virtually all of the Research that has taken place in cybersecurity over many years, has been done by those with computer science, electrical engineering, and mathematics backgrounds. However, many cybersecurity researchers have come to realize that to...
Michael Chorost became a cyborg when he had a computer surgically embedded in his skull to artificially restore his hearing. Chorost went from deafness to hearing, from human to cyborg. The combination of flesh and computer has long been a science fiction staple, but this memoir outlines how that fantasy is becoming reality.
System Und Subjekt (Wissenschaftstheorie, Wissenschaft Und Philosophie, #36)
by Axel Ziemke
1. "Wir erzeugen die Welt, in der wir leben, indem wir sie leben". Ausgehend von seiner Biologie der Kognition deutet H.Maturana mit dieser Aussage den in dieser Theorie konzeptualisierten grundsatzlichen Wandel von Wirklichkeitsbegriff und Menschenbild an. Auf der Basis einer Theorie autopoietischer Systeme erarbeitete er eine Alternative zu einem Wirklichkeitsbegriff, der wesentlich durch die Wissenschaft der Neuzeit mit ihrem Anspruch der objektiven Erkenntnis einer von den "Wirk- ursachen" b...
