A cyborg (abbreviation for "cybernetic organism") is a being with organic and biomechanical parts of the body. The term was coined in 1960 by Manfred Clynes and Nathan S. Kline.
The term cyborg is not the same as bionic, biorobot or android; It applies to an organism that has restored function or improved skills due to the integration of some artificial component or technology that is based on some type of feedback. While cyborgs are commonly regarded as mammals, including humans, they can also be conceited to be any kind of organism.
Halacy's Cyborg: Evolution of the Superman in 1965 presented an introduction that spoke of a "new frontier" that was not "only space, but more profoundly the relationship between 'inner space' and 'outer space' - a bridge ... between Mind and Matter ".
In popular culture, some cyborgs may be represented as visibly mechanical (eg, Cybermen in the Doctor Who Franchise or The Borg of Star Trek or Darth Vader in Star Wars) or almost indistinguishable from humans (eg the " Human "Cylons of Battlestar Galactica's re-imagination, etc.). Cyborgs in fiction often play up to a human contempt for excessive reliance on technology, especially when used for warfare, and when used in a way that seems to threaten free will Cyborgs are often portrayed with physical or mental abilities Far superior A human counterpart (military forms may have incorporated weapons, among other things).
