I’m a cyborg. You’re a cyborg. We are all become cyborgs.

It’s our mobiles. We can’t do without them. Lose your phone or break it and you’ll feel like you’re missing an arm. We rely on our phones as extra limbs. Our phones augment our abilities and make us more capable than a normal human. Instead of needing to recall every piece of information we can outsource our memory to Google and others. Without effort we can search for information we never had.

To be a cyborg in the strictest sense the technology would need to be embedded in our bodies. We are not yet at that stage but for many our phones may as well be surgically attached.

This is the first step to humankind’s evolution to cyborg. The next is wearable technology. Then we will implant the technology we already use.

Our transformation from Homo sapiens to Homo machina is well underway.
