Cyber

Cyber is a prefix used to describe a person, thing, or idea related to computers. Taken from "kybernetes," a Greek term for "steersman" or "governor," the term was chosen by Professor Norbert Wiener for the field of "cybernetics."

The term built etymologically on the Greek term for “steering” as a way to signal the intertwined tapestry of concepts relating the goal-directed actions, predictions, feedback, and responses in the systems (physical, social, engineering) for which cybernetics was to be an explanatory framework.
