bio mech cyborg history

The word ‘cyborg’ is shortened for ‘cybernetic organism’. Cybernetic is the entire field of control and communications theory, whether in the machine or animal while organism is an organized body, consisting of mutually connecting and dependent parts constituted to share a common life.

Donna Haraway suggested that "the cyborg has no origin story in the Western sense" (151-52). However it can be said that the history of cyborgs orginates from two line of history. One, the character of the cyborg originated out of the emergent field of cybernetics in the 1960's where Manfred Clynes and Nathan Kline helped coin the term as a concept that would "allow man to optimize his internal regulation to suit the environment he may seek" in outerspace (Clynes, 32).

On another side of history, the cyborg takes its origin from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Frankenstein's monster is often cited as the first cyborg and was not born of woman but assembled his monster on the operating table.
