Ray Fisher

Cyborg was the first superhero that I've ever seen whose parent was around but just was not there for him emotionally, mentally. I related to that in a big way because, growing up, it was my mother and grandmother that raised me and my brother and sisters. I'm the second youngest of five; my father was never in the picture.

American Actor

Sam Worthington

Actors get to go to these amazing worlds. In 'Terminator,' I was a cyborg with feelings; in 'Avatar,' I lived for 15 months on a fantastical planet, and in 'Clash of the Titans,' I get to fight a scorpion the size of a dump truck. It's a bizarre job, but you explore yourself.

Australian Actor

Yuval Noah Harari

Techno-humanism aims to amplify the power of humans, creating cyborgs and connecting humans to computers, but it still sees human interests and desires as the highest authority in the universe.

Israeli Historian

Joshua Foer

Someday in the distant cyborg future, when our internal and external memories fully merge, we may come to possess infinite knowledge. But that's not the same thing as wisdom.

American Journalist

Neil Harbisson

English Artist

Elon Musk

We're already cyborgs. Your phone and your computer are extensions of you, but the interface is through finger movements or speech, which are very slow.

South African Businessman

Ramez Naam

We are cyborgs already. If you learn to read, it causes permanent changes to the structure of your brain for your entire life.

American Writer

Evgeny Morozov

You know, anyone who wears glasses, in one sense or another, is a cyborg.

Belarusian Writer

Geoff Johns

The truth is, we're all cyborgs with cell phones and online identities.

Amanda Nunes

Cyborg is way heavier, way bigger than me.

Brazilian Athlete

The term 'cyborg' originated from science fiction and often appears in this genre.

Sci-Fi Origin

'Cyborg' suggests a blend of organic and technological parts, not fully robotic.

Human-Machine Blend

Sometimes 'cyborg' is used metaphorically to describe someone overly reliant on tech.

Figurative Use

In a medical context, 'cyborg' describes technology used to recover lost abilities.

Medical Enhancement

Use 'cyborg' specifically for advanced technological body enhancements, not simple tools.

Prosthetic Context

'Cyborg' is also used realistically, not only in fiction, to refer to enhanced humans.

Not Just Fiction

 because ultraviolet is a dangerous color, a color that can actually kill us, so I think we should all have this wish to perceive things that we cannot perceive. That's why, two years ago, I created the Cyborg Foundation, which is a foundation that tries to help people become a cyborg, tries to encourage people

 so that he could record his vision. Rob is part of a known network of cyborgs and he told me that he found it curious when he started to receive hate mail from people who felt threatened by him having this extra ability. Was his right to change his body less important than their right to their privacy?

 And so this is the important point that I like to that things are beautiful, that it's still a human connection -- it's just done in a different way. We're just increasing our humanness and our ability to connect with each other, regardless of geography. So that's why I study cyborg anthropology.

 that somehow I was a normal part of the universe. But I didn't feel like I could talk to anyone. And yet weirdly, I fully expected a time traveler to materialize at any time because I was a geek. I didn't know if it would be my unborn son or a T-101 cyborg.

 He feels like he just has his leg back, that he has his body back. Now I'm often asked when I'm going to be neurally linked to my synthetic limbs bidirectionally, when I'm going to become a cyborg. The truth is, I'm hesitant to become a cyborg.

How we'll become cyborgs...

 They might be cyborgs or -- Yeah, they could be enhanced super humans. They could be cyborgs. They could be completely nonorganic elites. They could even be non-conscious algorithms. What we see now in the world is authority shifting away

 is to more tightly couple the collective human world to digital intelligence. The issue that we face here is that we are already a cyborg, if you think about it. The computers are an extension of ourselves.
