1. Life as a cyborg...
This has always been a mystery to me.

MANY people live life as a cyborg. Those with medical implants (pacemakers, cochlear implants, etc) have been doing it for years.

3. Well as the evolution of the geek (above) shows....
Apparently you see the world through a video projection in front of your eye. The article is about a professor who actually wears one all the time.

7. Been there, done that
I used to work for Andersen Consulting, known among some in the business community as "the Borg".

I got out before they took complete control of my body. Other than an occasional whirring or clicking sound I've recovered completely.
