Abstract
Now that we have come to our final chapter, I will look exclusively at the issue of purpose in technology. As we have already seen, one primary purpose for, and indeed perhaps the origin of, technology, is to provide prosthetic replacement for, and/or orthotic extensions to, resident human capabilities.
The purpose of life is a life of purpose.
