BACKGROUND OF THE CYBORG
The concept of the cyborg was to allow man to optimize his internal regulation to suit the environment he may seek.
Manfred E. Clines, D. Sc.
Because the cyborg and its concept are still very obscure, an exploration must be conducted in order for it to be fully understood. The exploration, however, begins with the background. Because there is much to be said about the genealogy of the cyborg and many questions have been proposed, the next few pages address the background of the cyborg. Within these pages you will find definitions, history, and the visions of the cyborg.
