i find this question very interesting due to the fact that I find it very close to a question about evolution. I believe that I'm at the first stages of a cyborg along with everyone else in the world because cyborg is just another stage of evolution. When humans first used tools that itself is a sign of evolution towards being a cyborg, we're using a tool as an extension of our self. Our bodies never changed to have a hammer or a knife in place of our hands. We first used a hammer, a knife after, a weapon, a blender, and now we use internet. Internet can only be accessed through the world wide web. Being on a PC to access the internet limit the location of the PC. Next we have notebooks/laptops, they allow us to use our tools at given wi-fi locations. Now we have cellphones, anyone can access the closest location of the best restaurant in the city. Eventually humans could have electronics built into a suit. I would not be surprised in the far future that people will throw their bodies away to keep our cores, brain/thoughts, well protected with access to knowledge that everyone inputs, the world wide web.

I don't place any limits to myself in using the computer or the internet. If I did, I wouldn't be taking an online course. I am a type of person who likes to read wiki pages, go on discussion forums regarding interests I have and sharing the knowledge that I gain with these people as well. I don't believe any limits should be placed on use of internet, we should remove any limits to increase our rate of evolution. The intelligence of general populace could increase dramatically if the internet is used properly. I truly believe this because I was young before, all I used the internet for was video games. Now I use it to increase my knowledge and it really shows the transformation inside myself within just a few years.
