NORBERT WIENER1949

WIKIPEDIA

Wiener defined cybernetics in 1948 as the scientific study of control and communication in the animal and the machine. The word cybernetics comes from the Greek word (kyvernitik , government), i.e. all that are pertinent to (kyvern), the latter meaning to steer, navigate or govern, hence (kyvrnisis, government) is the government while (kyverntis) is the governor or the captain.

MACHINES CYBERSPACE & ITS INFLUENCE

DEFINITION & INFLUENCES

Cyberspace is a term created by William Gibson in his fantasy novel Neuromancer to describe the world of computers, and the society that gathers around them. Gibsons fantasy of a world of connected computers has moved into a present reality in the form of the Internet. In cyberspace people are met electronically, without a face or body. As Gibson mentioned some of his influences were excerpts from Burroughs Naked Lunch, which first made no sense to him at all or as he said like reading messages from Mars.

PAT CADIGAN (MINDPLAYERS)

"One morning in 1979, I was getting ready for work and Gary Numans Cars came on the radio. Afterwards, the

DJ said, Theres some cyberpunk for you. He was making a joke; in 1979, the punk movement was in full flower but

the chaotic noise of punk music was starting to evolve into electronic noise."

THE EARLY 80S

The popularity of the film Bladerunner and William Gibsons novel Neuromancer accelerated the term cyberpunk. Authors like Cadigan, Bruce Sterling and Rudy Rucker were only a few of the pioneers which created worlds where humans and computers merge.

THE 1990S

Back in the 80s the term cyber was more or less related to the underground. Though in the 1990s more and more people got internet access so that an utopian vision changed towards a household consumer item. This led to the creation of terms like cyber-bull, cybercommunity, cybergeek, cyberlaw, cyberstalker as well as cybersex and cyberwar. Shortly everything turned cyber out of a sudden.
