Haha. Apparently there's a crapload of undereducated children in the U.S. It seems about 50% of them participate in these forums too.
For clarification for all you underpriveledged types, you should know what a word means before you use it! And if you don't know, DON'T -blam!- argue about it's meaning!
OK kids, ready for today's lesson? (btw, I'm sorry for you few out there who are smart enough to know this already.)
Cyborg is a compound word derived from cybernetics and organism.
Any organism that is aided by technology can be considered a "cyborg."
In its usual context, a cyborg is a human who has the aid of implants or external devices.
Therefore, technically speaking, someone who relies on the use of a wheelchair qualifies as a cyborg. They rely on the external device to move.
Also, in a less technical sense, someone who has a pacemaker or prosthetic limb is a cyborg. In their case, they have pieces of technology implanted or attached to them.
Note, "cyborg" is not a synonym for "robot."
Therefore, if you are one of those people who are arguing about whether the MC is a cyborg OR a human, you're totally -blam!- ignorant. HE'S BOTH!
Thank you for your time. Take your inevitable flames, roll them up, and shove 'em.
