cyborgs
Thursday, October 15, 2009 by Andy
I think the definition of a cyborg is wearable technology, or technology that has invaded them physically at some point. Then i thought to myself, We must all be cyborgs in some way.
Those who would not classify as a cyborg would be one who has never worn glasses, or has never worn braces, or has fillings or has put headphones in their ears. Personally right now, i am looking at the computer with contacts in my eyes and in the past i have had a small peice of metal in my knee to remove a small peice of broken bone.
because when we think about it, what we need to do before we define cyborgs is define technology. People define technology in different ways, but one way in a sociological definition is
3. (Sociology) the total knowledge and skills available to any human society for industry, art, science, etc.
