Artist photographed self after male to female augmentation.

Short Response Questions:
How will America's extreme conservatism and liberalism shape our social acceptability of body augmenting?
Will technology move so fast as to make it not worthwhile to augment our bodies?
Or will augmentation become five minute fads as such the turn over rate of the iphone?
Will we augment our bodies as to more efficiently interact with technology instead of adapting technology to more humanly efficient?
