I was thinking about this recently.

We all have an idea of what an android is and what a cyborg is, but are there any exact classifications?

Or are they just synonymy for robots?

I always thought an android is a robot that looks like an organic organism and that a cyborg is an organic organism altered with robotic parts.

What do you guys think?

This is what I think it is, it seems fitting somehow.

Yup, thats it. Android totally robotic, cyborg organic with robot parts.
The real question is. Which one was Lincoln?
He was both, an android with human parts... kinda like the Terminator!

Both make me feel physically sick. Ugh, I couldn't live in a world with robots and replica people. I'd be like Will Smith in I,Robot.

Android is a human-like robot that looks male.

Gynoid is a human-like robot that looks female.

Cyborg is a biological organism supported with technological parts added in.

I've yet to see Blade Runner despite the fact that I have it on my HD.
But I'll counter with Molly;

Is this the Molly from Neuromancer? Or some other Molly?

If the former is correct, I've always pictured much bigger "visor" in front of both of her eyes.
