CYBORG, a compound word derived from cybernetics and organism, is a term coined by Manfred Clynes in 1960 to describe humanity's need to artificially improve biological functions in order to survive in the hostile environment of space. Originally, a CYBORG refers to a "human being with bodily functions aided or controlled by technological devices, such as an oxygen tank, artificial heart valve or insulin pump." Over the years, the term took on a more general meaning, describing the dependence of humans on technology. In this sense, CYBORG can be used to characterize any person who relies on a computer to complete their daily work.
What is CYBORG?
A CYBORG is a cybernetic organism, part machine of the human part. This concept is little complicated, but let's see an example of a CYBORG, you may have seen the movie TERMINATOR. In that ARNOLD was a CYBORG. He was part of the man part of the machine. The definition of the well says exactly this, CYBORG can be done by technology known as CYBERNETICS. What is CYBERNETICS? To understand CYBORG this is the first step we will see next.
What is CYBERNETICS?
• Cybernetics is a word coined by a group of scientists led by Norbert Wiener and popularized by the Wiener book of 1948, Cybernetics or Control and communication in animal and machine.
• Based on the Greek "kybernetes", meaning steersman or governor, cybernetics is the science or study of mechanisms of control or regulation in human systems and machines, including computers.
• CYBERNETICS could be thought of as a newly developed science, although to some extent cut across existing sciences. If we think about Physics, Chemistry, Biology, etc. As traditional sciences, then Cybernetics is a classification that crosses all of them.
• Cybernetics is formally defined as the science of control and communication in animals, men and machines. It extracts, from any context, what it refers to the processing and control of the information. ... One of the main characteristics of cybernetics is its concern for model construction and here it is superimposed on operational research. Cybernetic models are generally distinguished by being hierarchical, adaptive and making permanent use of feedback loops.
• Cybernetics is in some ways like the science of organization, with special emphasis on the dynamic nature of the system being organized. "
