The term cyborg is a combination of "cybernetic organism" which means that it is of recent origin (because Norbert Wiener used the word cybernetic first in the 1940s to refer to the processes of feedback and control in different processes and systems). But my question is following:
What is the first published use of the term cyborg and who used it? NOTE: some of you might be familiar with the movie "Cyborg 2087" made in 1966, starring Michael Rennie who also starred in the great sci-fi film "The Day the Earth Stood Still" (Cyborg 2087, however, is no TDTESS). So, if cheesy sci-fi flicks were using the term cyborg by 1966, when did it achieve widespread cultural acceptance? But this is a secondary issue. -Mike Palij New York University [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- To make changes to your subscription contact: Bill Southerly ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
