Description

In 1960 Manfred Clynes first used the term “cyborg” in his article “Cyborgs and Space”. Today, people are willingly altering their bodies to make “cyborgs” a reality. In this episode, Host Bernardo Pinto will explore the definition of a cyborg, analyze modern cyborgs, and interview an engineer at the Georgia Insitute of Technology to see how he responds to the topic as well. We will take a look at modern cyborgs like Neil Harbisson who can hear color and Moon Ribas who can feel seismic activity. Then, Anchor Kyle Wengryn will take us through the history of cyborgs and compare them to modern technology. He will also discuss his findings when asking the general public about their views on cyborgs. Today, we will expand our current definition of a cyborg and see how our virtual connection to technology is changing the way the think. Is a physical prosthetic required to be a cyborg? How are Apple watches and mobile applications turning us into humanoids? Should we be scared?
