CYBORG
What is a Cyborg?
 Originated from the concept of cybernetics, which is the study of communication and control of machines, organism or a mixture of both, cyborg is referred to as a mixture of both the organism and the technology. When an organism is half human and half machine then we call them cyborg.
 For Example:
 Cochlear implants in the ear and Artificial Heart
Objective
 living being with a mechanical body part which is replaced for the damaged or lost body part. Among them has prime importance, it has functioning similar to our leg. These external mechanical parts works by the stimulations received generated from our neural system
Working
 The Neural impulses are converted into electrical impulse at the neuron stimulator and hence the sensing function of the machine part is done as the original biological part.
APPLICATIONS
 MEDICAL FIELD
 MILITARY
 SPORTS
 ART & POPULAR CULTURE
Advantages
 Prolongs life
 Enables one to lead a normal life
 Gives a part of the body back
 Improves the quality of life
Disadvantages
 Training is needed for doctors
 They are all expensive
 Psychological problems
 Feeling ‘different’ to everyone else
 The risk of rejection/infection
 Pain during operation
Conclusion
 Humans have limited capabilities. Humans sense the world in a restricted way, vision being the best of the senses.
 But these capabilities must get improved for the human beings to exist in this competitive world.
 Only technology can make it possible. And Cyborgology is the future technology for the purpose to be get real.
