maybe, but really as soon as our identities become entangled with technology of any kind we started the process of cyborgification
Especially when we do things like commit our memories to machines. I mean, how many people when asked if they know something now refer to where they can find the information rather than actually knowing it? Computers and books are extensions of our selves and our knowledge.

this isn't true
for any scientifically accepted definition of a cybernetic organism. But I kind of get where you're going, but it's not in any way a cyborg until you actually have something in you, rather than vice versa. Thoughts and memories do not equal organism.

man, that took a long time for someone to call 'bolllocks' on ( coz it really is)
Really, I was using cyborg in a more 'identity' way rather than a purely physical one

Yeah,
But contact lens wearers could be described as cyborgs.
We walk among you.
