Real life cyborgs

You guys see this? A film-maker uses footage from his literal "point of view".

While Haraway thinks everyone affected by technology qualifies as a cyborg, this and the USB finger guy are interesting because it's not just a matter of technology supplementing human-ness, they have replaced their missing human parts with technology. Boring functionless prosthetics are available, but here are people that thought beyond appearance and are experimenting with what science has to offer. Way cool.
