Cyborg is a word of English origin , contraction of “cybernetic organism” (organization Cybernétique).
Norbert Wiener uses in 1950 the metaphor of a robot communicating like human in its cybernetic work and company (which tries to popularize the principles of the Cybernétique that it formalized in 1948).
The same year, Isaac Asimov publishes I, Robot and poses the basic principles of the advanced robot/human exchange in Science-fiction. It is still not question of Cyborg , and the concept will appear charged with the fears of the time, deviating appreciably of the initial direction of exchange to go towards that more worrying of substitution (where the machine invades the human one more than it does not exchange with him).
The term “cyborg” was popularized by Manfred E. Clynes and Nathan S. Kline in 1960 which referred to the concept of human “improved” which could survive in extraterrestrial environments. This concept is the result of a reflection on the need for a close relation between the human one and the machine, per hour of the beginnings of space exploration.
