I, Robot?

So, I'm reading this book on cybernetics that I bought at the gift store in a science museum. I was reading chapter three today when I found out some shocking news. (cuse the dramatic music) News that would turn my whole world as I knew it upside down....

That news was the definition of the word cyborg:

cy·borg

   /ˈsaɪbɔrg/ Show Spelled[sahy-bawrg] Show IPA

noun

a person whose physiological functioning is aided by or dependent upon a mechanical or electronic device.

 

(source: dictionary.com)

Glasses, as it was pointed out by the book, are a mechanical device. I wear glasses. Therefore, I'm technically a cyborg.

Seriously?!? This is shocking news to me, it's like, right below being told that I'm actually an alien. And all I can come up with is an emoticon?!?

Oh. My. Goodness.

THAT'S EXACTLY HOW A CYBORG WOULD REACT!!!!!!!




Crap. I did it again...sort of.

I'm bad at internet memes.

Probably a good sign.

Still trying not to hyperventilate.



Maybe if I...got contacts?

Wait. Still a lens.

Laser surgery?

Can't afford it.

Darn it.

Oh well. Guess I'm a cyborg for life, then.



The lame thing about knowing something is that you can't unknow it...
