Check It Out: Cyborgs; In The - Kosmos Cyborg Hand Manual

CHECK IT OUT
The origin
What is a
cyborg?
— Maybe there is someone in your family
or in your class with a pacemaker or a
PROSTHESIS. If so, you already know a
cyborg! That's because a cyborg is simply a
combination of a human and a MACHINE —
in other words, a being that consists of both
artificial and natural body parts. There are
even people who would say that you are a
cyborg if you wear eyeglasses, but then a lot
of people would be cyborgs, and that would
be a bit boring.
— This boy has a
cochlear hearing
implant, which
enables him to
hear.
— Did Clynes and
Kline imagine a
cyborg that looked
like this?
— In the future, however, we will certainly see more
people wearing various TECHNOLOGICAL DEVICES
on or in their bodies. And maybe one day we will really
ask ourselves whether the person standing in front of
us is human or a machine.
