The term “cyborg” has been thrown around in various ways in many contexts. Cyborg’s are thought of as a machine or a separate entity that has been invented and utilized in order to adapt to certain situations. Must like how astronauts would need a suit in space in order to survive the oxygen-less atmosphere. It therefor allows humans to do what they please and to explore more than their body is built for. As it was stated in Manfred Clynes and Nathan Kline’s text, Cyborgs and Space, “The purpose of the Cyborg, as well as his own homeostatic systems, is to provide an organizational system in which such robot like problems are taken care of automatically and unconsciously, leaving man free to explore, to create, to think, and to feel.”

The term “Cyborg” has been used loosely recently, not exactly pinpointing that a human has to be an actual machine fused with a human, but a human that utilizes the advantages or advanced technology to go beyond a human body’s limitations/abilities. Each human body is different, therefor each would require a different attachment. Although useful in some cases, every extension could possibly also be an amputation.
