According to online dictionary definitions, cyborg could be explained as:
A human who has certain physiological processes aided or controlled by mechanical or electronic devices.
A fictional or hypothetical person whose physical abilities become superhuman by mechanical elements built into the body.
A robot is a machine capable of performing physical labout .An android is a robot made to look and perform as a human. A cyborg is a human that has significant prosthetic devices added to him.
Based on the above, cyborg could easily be explained by words.However the problem is to the creation of such a hypothetical human. Even if no living person is cyborg (yet), people are creating images of them. By using photoshop, cyborgs can be shown as they are photographed and therefore for the rest of the people to learn and to picture their imaginations of what cyborg is.
Many people are using Photoshop to create illusions and to show things that cannot be found or seen to the real world. Cyborg is a main subject that is used for those reasons. For instance, cyborg became a big part for commercial purposes and of course for art.
Many celebrities are shown as cyborgs. For example.
This is how the singer Christina Aguilera is shown in her Disc named Bionic.
Lady Gaga photographed for the Vogue Magazine
Moreover as mentioned, cyborg is creatures of our imagination and many people are using photoshop to create them. For example many tutorials are published in Youtube Mpaolo Almeida has posted many tutorials in Youtube regarding the creation of cyborg by using photoshop.
Cyborgs are considered to be science fiction creatures however have you ever considered that by the pass of the years we are becoming cyborg? For example for medical purposes, we replace a broken bone with platinum. The technology is developing day after day and if by now we can replace a hand or a feet by a mechanical one imagine in the future how easily any human part could be replaced. Would that mean that people would become less humans???
