The merging of organic and inorganic, or human and machine, to create a third type of entity. Cyborgs feature in science fiction (like Robocop). The cyborg concept is also a mental model of humans' relationship to technology as co-constitutive, wherein humans don't just make tech, but it remakes and reshapes them. Implants, exoskeletons, augmented reality, and even lower-tech connections like humans aided by smartphones are all cyborg relationships.
"Humans and their vehicles can be thought of as cyborgs, where the human is both extended by their interface with the machine, but also changed by it—we started to imagine new ways to navigate, more like 'robo-shoes' and less like 'cars.'"
