By reading these 2 articles, the second one catches my eyes, as it mentions the real world of cyber cities. I think it gave a great insight into the world’s development where all cities are starting to build like imaginary cities or what they call Sci-Fi cities. When we watch Sci-Fi movies before we never thought that this would come true where there are flying transportations and teleporters everywhere in the cities. Also, the city itself looked very fictional, but then now this essay gave me a feel where this might actually come true as the technology development is on a boom now and the process of it is unpredictable, where these movie scenes might come true someday and we will just get used to it, like smartphones, we never thought this would come true as it is out of our imagination, but then it came true.

I doubt that Boyer was situating the discussion on how the cities are starting to build like imaginary cities; instead, she was comparing the elements of the real cities and the fictional cyber cities. Your comments are very general – what ideas of Boyer’s text are you responding to? Specifically what type of technological advancement mentioned by Boyer would you like to address? Boyer extensively talked about the control, from the philosophical idea (Foucault and Deleuze) to technological execution – perhaps you may wish to comment on that further.
