Every tool used by a human extends their biological capabilities. A knife is a technical extension of the hand, a car replaces legs.

Besides the limitation of independent intellectual capabilities, our dependence on the digital world ties in with a problem depicted by the lack of a face in the portrait. Let's call this problem the "issue of the global person." Our access to globally unified culture takes away from us a trait of identity that the uniqueness of different cultures has built.
