✍️ The article explores the concept of cybernetics, tracing its origins to World War II and its evolution into a universal logic that blurs the line between machines and living tissue.
👉 Cybernetics was coined by Norbert Wiener in 1948 as a science of self-governing systems, control, and communication. 👉 Feedback is central to cybernetics, allowing systems to sense their own performance and steer themselves towards a goal. 👉 Cybernetics was used in World War II to solve the "air defense problem" and predict enemy movements. 👉 Cybernetics was used in the Cold War as a tool for ideological contest and control. 👉 Cybernetics has shaped our fictions, particularly in science fiction, and has influenced the development of the internet and virtual reality.
