From brain-controlled prosthetics to implanted blood-sugar monitors, we’re not as resistant to the idea of cyborgism as you might think.

      yep, same here except i think power-source makes a slight difference to the degree of cyborginess. maybe we need a scale. maybe something like:

      1. caveman with tools, self-powered
      2. ancient person using naturalistic propulsion methods (wind, animals) for vehicles (ships, chariots) etc
      3. engine (steam, electric, gas) powered entities (vehicles, factories, aircraft)
      4. direct nervous system integration for thought-based control
      5. shared consciousness

        I feel a cyborg needs to be a single self contained entity and 3 sounds like just vehicles.
