When researching, I came across the term Anthropomorphism, which is giving human characteristics to things that you wouldn't normally associate with these characteristics, for example a talking rabbit or a farting alarm clock. Looking at technology I feel that it too has been given a role similar to a person. You can give your ipods a 'personality', by choosing its colour, case, name etc. It's not enough that technology greatly affects our lives, people are now designing robots to replace us. The pictures above are a result of me trying to combine a human image with a mechanical one. I think we rely so much on technology that it has become a part of us.
