In a sense, humans have been cyborgs since we began using tools and language. Technology is now what we do. We use clever ways to extend our abilities, strengths, senses and intelligence. We use it to build collective intelligence. And we convert resources and energy from one form to another. Ants build anthills, bees build hives and make honey, humans 'do' technology.

Humans have always been biological machines. If anything, tools (including language) give us a chance to transcend this predicament. It's unfortunately true, though, that they're mainly used for other ends.
