“The term of ‘cybernetics’ comes from Ancient #Greek ‘kybernetes,' reflecting the notion of a ‘steersman, guide, #governor, pilot or rudder,’ from ‘kybernan’ ‘to steer or pilot, #direct as a #pilot,’ figuratively ‘to #guide, #govern.’”

“The global brain is a vision of a planetary #information & communications #network that interconnects all #humans & their #technology artifacts. The network stores ever more information & takes over more functions of coordination & #communication from [#human] organizations.”
