This is an interesting flow chart. However, what is it gotto do with
the possible concept of  a cyborg. Well, deaming  on the future aint
that bad though, but definitely not with this flow chart ;?).

PS. by the way where is 'the thinking' on the flow chart; it is
suppose to be the brain of a cyborg, aint it? ;?) This flow
chart sounds more like the future blue print of an advanced
ATM teller.

A Cyborg!!?? read Isaac Asimov a lot? Well

I' Robot and 'Robots and Empire' are not really bad..A complete
philosophy on Cyborgology ( a new word, I just invented..Like
someone invented the word Cyborg, heh) I know , there is this
Cybernetics but what the heck.

Bora,
