To be a cyborg is to work on integration of computational systems and modes of
synthetic and increased perception and weave those into one's on gestalt at a
level deeper than the merely mechanical. Steve Mann has been doing this
nearly 24/7 for over 15 years and teaching others to do likewise. That is
why I consider him to be much more of a true cyborg.
