A cyborg is a being with both organic and artificial parts. The term comes from the combination of "cybernetic" and "organism." Cyborgs are often depicted in science fiction as enhanced beings with advanced technology integrated into their bodies, giving them superhuman abilities or enhanced senses. In reality, cyborgs can refer to people who have had limbs replaced by prosthetics or other medical devices that help them function better. The term is also used more broadly to describe anyone who uses technology in a significant way to enhance their life or performance.
