It looks ghastly.
Is there any proper evidence for this?
I really really hope the crayon depts controlling web page design and formatting of paper & ebook don't embrace this.

The word bionic, coined by Jack E. Steele in August 1958, is a portmanteau from biology and electronics[2] that 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. All three stories feature humans given various superhuman powers by their electromechanical implants.

An aside
The Six Million Dollar Man was poor SF akin to magic. The real future of body repair isn't electronic ears, ccd cameras in the fake eye, titanium bones, false teeth implanted to jaw or mechanical hearts but regrowing damaged or missing parts. Some progress on teeth and cultures of skin and muscle cells from the original organism. How many mechanical systems are self repairing and last over 100 years?
