Concept information
Preferred term
cyborg communities
Definition
- The neuroscientist Manfred Clynes described cyborgs (cybernetic organisms, or organisms whose biological functions are enhanced by electronic mechanisms; also called borgs and sometimes posthumans) as representing a synergy between the human and the machine such that operation of the machine does not require conscious thought or effort on the part of the human. Humanistic intelligence (HI) theory has made the cyborg concept more precise. [Source: Encyclopedia of Community: From the Village to the Virtual World; Cyborg Communities]
