cyborg search

Stephen Hawking.
Digital voices on Daft Punk songs.
HAL from 2001.
A guitar and a talkbox.

All examples of cyborgs in our culture. Its amazing how many you can think of; the list must be endless. I think that the above ones are quite unique, and are ones we didn't really think about in class. The guitar talkbox is neat: the guitar is an extension of the person; the guitar notes go through the talkbox to create tones; and a robotic voice is created in combination with the singer's voice. Its a kind of half-human, half-robotic cyborg.
