The idea of cyborgs/robots has been around for a long time. Movies created to depict a future where planet earth is over run or dependant on such inventions that will sooner or later render humans useless. One idea that must be understood is the difference between a “robot” and a “cyborg”. The robot was a man made invention/idea that was made to make human life easier, a tool. Where the cyborg is an artificial human, sometimes given human features, or in “blade runner” even given artificial memories to make to cyborg seem even more human. Ironically this day in age humans have become even more technologically dependant than ever, more and more of the robots/cyborgs are making their way into main stream society. At the super market, at the bank, at our work place. The change seems inevitable. Personally I am on the computer all the day, be it me doing homework, talking to friends, watching videos, listening to music. Playing games, It seems the more needs humans come up with the more accommodating computers have become. The only reason I do not consider myself a cyborg is because I know where I come from and how I got here, or at least I think I do. Take away my flesh vital organs and maybe a few emotions, I just might be.
