Our number grows

We are an increasing population us borg.
Not only are the students of Steve Man (http://eyetap.org) actively pushing the bounds of borgdom forward but the rest of us are looking again at our past and saying does that class of person actually qualify as borg?
Does a person who has a pacemaker classify as borg? They are dependant on technology for their every heart beat. How about people with hearing aids?
I have tens (as well as the computers and screens and internet connectivity 24/7) and I rely on all of it for my quality of life.
Quality of life, quality of work, speed of access to information, enhanced memory; they all are valid reasons for being borg (and so is just cause it's cooooolllllll.)
