My Utopia

2009 January 28
by Aline

I am not sure what my “utopia” would be, when it comes to integrating technology and gender.  On the one hand, I would like there to be gender-free technolgy.  I think the woman about to shake the robot’s hand is a good example of this idealization. On the other hand, I realized that we may never reach this point, so a more realistic utopia for me would be for men and women to work more as equals with technology.  The robotic dogs are represented by gender through color. I believe that the differences between men and women will always be evident, but that we can realize we are capable of doing the same tasks like in the robotic dogs. Right now, that would be my utopia.
