Introduction
Cyborgs are originated from the concept of
cybernetics, which is referred as a mixture of both organism and the technology. When an organism is half human and half machine then we call them CYBORG. The whole process of becoming a Cyborg is known as Cyborgation.
History
The term was coined by Manfred E. Clynes and Nathan
S. Kline in 1960 to refer to their conception of an enhanced human being who could survive in extraterrestrial environments. In 2010, the Cyborg Foundation became the world's first international organization dedicated to help humans become cyborgs.

Possibly Longer Lifespan Increased Intelligence/Computational Power/Perception
Disadvantages
Possible loss of humanity

Challenges
It is not easy to identify where memory is precisely
Future Enhancement
we may have more and more artificial body partsarms,
legs, hearts, eyes and so ontill one might end up finally as a brain in a wholly artificial body. Cyborgology will concentrates on the development of conditional cyborgs.
Conclusion
Human Humans limited capabilities ,human sense the
world in a restricted way . Even cyborgs has some major defects and wrong sides as like any technologies evolving now days. Finally I would like to say that if the future of intelligent robots, then to protect mankind, we will must need some TERMINATORs. They all are CYBORGS. Because by making human CYBORGS.
