In 1948, Norbert Wiener created the term Cybernetics, applicable to a new technology, which he defined as follows:
The study of control and communication in the animal and the machine
Cybernetics has a lot to do with Robotics
and with the use of computers and microprocessors to control and communicate;
in other words, to do almost everything we use them for.
But what is being talked about right now, rather than Cybernetics, is Cyberethics: ethical issues related to the use of computers, social networks, and most tools that modern technology puts within our reach.
