Elgan: Don’t Look Now, but You’re a Cyborg

Mike Elgan

The cyborg, or cybernetic organism–part human, part machine–is a staple of science fiction, from “Star Trek” to “The Six Million Dollar Man” to “RoboCop” to “The Terminator.” These pop culture cyborgs usually involve robotic machinery to enhance physical capabilities rather than mental ones because that’s more visual, more entertaining and easier for the general public to understand.

About Voices

This is a section of the All Things Digital Web site featuring posts from around the Web, from other Dow Jones properties and also original pieces we solicit. The section is now explicitly labeled that it comes "from other Web sites."

We are fully aware of the controversies around how linking and aggregating is done on the Web and we, in no way, are attempting to "scrape" original content created by others. Instead, regarding third-party posts, we are trying to point readers of this site to other posts from around the Web that we admire and are trying to do so in the quickest manner possible.

The Internet is full of terrific content that is not ours and we want to help our readers find it by making editorial suggestions--Look, Mom, no algorithm!--of posts we think are worth their time.

That is why we have made even more changes to Voices to ensure we do this in the most transparent and timely way. While we don't expect that everyone will agree with our policies, we have made changes that reflect our intent in pointing to content outside our site.

So here is exactly what we do: Read more »

We want to be first, and sassy, but also well sourced and accurate. We will offer lots of opinion and analysis, but plenty of fact as well.
