That 70’s show, airing from 1998 to 2006, told of a group of teenagers; Eric, Donna, Jackie, Kelso, Hyde, and Fez, and how they kept themselves busy in a small town of Wisconsin. Each teen has a very stereotypical personality; we have all beauty no brains Kelso, independent and outspoken feminist Donna, and rebel without a cause Hyde. The teens wear the exact clothing one would picture when reminiscing about the 70’s – funky patterns, t-shirts with your favorite band that your parents could not…

However, science needs objectivity in order to obtain the most…

Haraway describes how machines and autonomous beings, like animals and humans, are not that different anymore. She states, “Late twentieth-century machines have made thoroughly ambiguous the difference between natural and artificial, mind and body, self-developing…
