Are we cyborgs?

Everyone has watched science-fiction movies, where people obtain supernatural abilities and become superheros or what are so called Cyborgs and maybe many of us has dreamed of being such a superhero having abilities untypical for human beings. The cyborgs are mutants, who have artificial parts in their bodies and look almost like humans,they are born in this way. There are people who tried to become cyborgs after implanting microchips in parts of their bodies. Kevin Warwick is one of them, who implanted chips in his hands and in this way he could open doors without using a key.( Kevin Warwick)
But are still not cyborgs.The question here is "why we want to be cyborgs?". Maybe in this way we will be more powerful and we will control the other to a certain extend. Maybe in this way our lives will be easier because less physical effort will be needed to do something. Maybe we will manage the time and change the past or the future.

Even though we don't have metal parts in our bodies or supernatural abilities, we are kind of cyborgs. Today's technologies make us more or less cyborgs. As Marshall McLuhan argues in his book "Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man" the telephone and the television are extensions of our abilities to hear and see. Nowadays, we have mobile phones,computers, faxes, plasma and LCD television sets, audio systems and so on - the technology is everywhere.

According to a movie called "Zeitgeist" American government will offer to the citizens to implant a microchip which contain personal information in order to be more secured.

What is for sure is that we are still humans but nobody knows what will happen in the future, it depends only on ourselves.
