Going Live 07/27/23 6AM CT

A cyborg, short for "cybernetic organism," refers to an entity that combines both biological and artificial elements, typically in the context of enhancing human capabilities. It is a fusion of human and machine, where technology is integrated into the human body, allowing for enhanced physical or cognitive functions.

The concept of cyborgs often appears in science fiction literature, movies, and other media, where characters may have advanced robotic limbs, cybernetic implants, or brain-computer interfaces. However, in reality, cyborg technology is still in its early stages of development, and the current applications are primarily focused on medical interventions, such as prosthetics or cochlear implants.
