fucking bullshit. stephen hawking couldn't function or communicate without his chair & computer. you’re gonna say that doesn't count? then i don’t trust your judgement
I think the term cyborg is reserved for actual replacement parts or implants. Because if you count Hawking using his chair, you'd have to conclude that whatever caveman that first used a tool is the real first cyborg.
