Something I think about a lot is that people tend to compare whatever the most recent innovation was to humans.
It used to be that what made you alive was electricity; you could Frankenstein shock yourself back to life.
It used to be that you were a clock. Your gears wound up at birth, and then eventually you wore out. You needed repairs.
