Define Program Manager

The term "cyborg" (cybernetic organism) was coined in 1960 by Manfred Clynes for a NASA conference to describe systems that integrate organic (biological) and artificial (machinic) elements together into a self-regulating (homeostatic) whole, such as astronauts modified for space. While this remains the technical meaning, the word has come to stand for the broader idea that advances in technoscience are allowing a deep integration of evolved organisms, especially humans, into machine systems while at the same time machines and programs are being incorporated into human and other bodies.

The homeostatic integration of evolved and invented entities depends on communication and information processing. Cyborg technologies are developed out of human-computer interaction projects in the military and medicine, but also in space exploration and industry. The military implications are fundamental. The ideal of the "man-machine weapon system" and the conviction that information is a force multiplier has meant that cyborgization is a crucial strategy.
