Bionics
The word "bionic" was coined by Jack E. Steele in 1958, possibly originating from the technical term "bion" (pronounced "BEE-on"; from "bíos"), meaning 'unit of life' and the suffix "-ic", meaning 'like' or 'in the manner of', hence 'like life'. Some dictionaries, however, explain the word as being formed as a portmanteau from biology" and "electronics. It was popularized by the 1970s U.S. television series "The Six Million Dollar Man" and "The Bionic Woman", both based upon the novel "Cyborg" by Martin Caidin, which was itself influenced by Steele's work. All feature humans given superhuman powers by electromechanical implants.
