I would suggest that the best "definition" of when the headsetting really begins with technology comes from Heidegger's Essay Concerning Technology, which draws the distinction between the windmill that harnesses windpower passively and then a coal mine that sets upon nature to yield what it needs. Jacques Ellul and Langdon Winner are also worth looking at for this stuff.
Some really very interesting thoughts about the wider metaphorical - and no so metaphorical implications of the cow headsets!

I'll check those out! Thanks!
