Are you familiar with what a cyborg is? You most likely imagine a half human, half machine when you think of a cyborg, particularly if you enjoy science fiction movies (these characters are usually cleverly used to comment on the human condition). Hollywood cyborgs can seem extremely outlandish. But in reality, someone wearing something as […]
