Cyborgs in Pop Culture

From pre-60's Cyberman...

From pre-60's Cyberman...

...to the kickas Machine Girl in the 2000's...

...to the head 'sploding Machine Girl in the 2000's...

...and everything in between

...and everything in between.

io9, a sci-fi blog, has posted a very comprehensive listing of cyborgs in pop culture.  It lists cyborgs from pre-1960 into the 2000’s.  It is seperated by decade and includes picture examples to show just how much cyborgs have evolved in pop culture through time.  Visit Pop-Culture Cyborgs Through The Ages: A Gallery @io9 to see for yourself.

Just remember – although they look human, it does not mean they are your friends.

    I love sci-fi. They are always special to me. Especially Aliens, Robots and Cyborgs. Thanks for the post by the way! You were right though in saying “Although they look human, they are not our friends”

    Does anyone remeber “Mister Brain” from the late 60’s and early 70’s? A battery powered programmable smoking robot. He was pretty Hi-tech at the time but toys have advanced so much in the last 40 years He’s pretty tame in comparrison to todays toys. Makes you wonder what toys will be like in a further 40 years!!!
