Cyberspace” was coined by _________

By Dr Oliver Tearle Where does the word cyberspace come from? The origins of this word are a little more complex than is usually acknowledged, so it’s worth delving into the story of how cyberspace came to be a ‘thing’. And where did that cyber- prefix even originate in the first place? The answer will take us into the world of science fiction (as you might expect), avant-garde art (perhaps more surprising), and nautical engineering (perhaps more surprising still). The story actually begins in the nineteenth century, at least if we’re truly to uncover the origins of cyberspace and the cyber- prefix. In 1868, a French engineer named Léon Farcot invented an automatic control for the rudder of a steamship. Farcot drew on the idea of feedback, a system which determines the gulf between the desired outcome and the actual state of affairs and seeks to narrow the gulf until it is zero. For a steamship, this meant that the steam pressure would shut off when the ship reached the desired location. But in the twentieth century, the advent of more advanced electronic devices enabled this automatic process to become more refined and complex (and accurate). By 1948, an American mathematician named Norbert Wiener had developed a sophisticated mathematical system for determining the handling of feedback. This ushered in a new branch of science named cybernetics, named by Wiener himself after the ancient Greek κυβερνήτης meaning ‘steersman’. Interestingly, the same root, the Greek κυβερνᾶν...

These days, the word cyberpunk conjures up images of Keanu Reeves and, Gizmodo, terribly, horribly broken video games. Cyberpunk, a sub-genre of science fiction that explores a counter-cultural and anti-authoritarian worldview through the lens of a dystopian, technologically-advanced, and dehumanized future, has proved to be prescient. No other genre of speculative fiction has remained as relevant and useful over the course of decades. Cyberpunk stories are as powerful as ever, and examples dating back decades remain evergreen in a way that most sci-fi can't manage. Cyberpunk is so deeply-ingrained in pop culture at this point that its origins have become a bit cloudy. The truth is, there's not a single point of origin for the genre itself, though certain aspects of it can be traced directly to certain key figures. But the important take-away about cyberpunk is that it's the product of a cultural exploration that has its roots in the very beginning of science fiction itself, an exploration that's still going on today as the genre evolves and changes to accommodate our ever-shifting relationship to technology and the future. Here's the untold truth of the origins of cyberpunk. Science fiction as a genre is predicated on speculation. Sometimes that's speculation about technology, sometimes it's speculation about future events and developments — and sometimes its both. Encyclopedia Britannica, cyberpunk's themes of distrust in th century made technology's impact on our lives ...

What Does Cyberspace Mean? Cyberspace refers to the virtual computer world, and more specifically, an electronic medium that is used to facilitate online communication. Cyberspace typically involves a large computer network made up of many worldwide computer subnetworks that employ TCP/IP protocol to aid in communication and data exchange activities. Cyberspace’s core feature is an interactive and virtual environment for a broad range of participants. In the common IT lexicon, any system that has a significant user base or even a well-designed interface can be thought to be “cyberspace.” Techopedia Explains Cyberspace Cyberspace allows users to share information, interact, swap ideas, play games, engage in discussions or social forums, conduct business and create intuitive media, among many other activities. The term cyberspace was initially introduced by William Gibson in his 1984 book, Neuromancer. Gibson criticized the term in later years, calling it “evocative and essentially meaningless.” Nevertheless, the term is still widely used to describe any facility or feature that is linked to the Internet. People use the term to describe all sorts of virtual interfaces that create digital realities. More on Cyberspace In many key ways, cyberspace is what human societies make of it. One way to talk about cyberspace is related to the use of the global Internet for diverse purposes, from commerce to entertainment. Wherever stakeholders set up virtual meeting spaces, we see the c...

SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. -- Space Delta 6 provides space and cyberspace access to the U.S. Space Force. The unit coined “Cyber Delta,” was established July 24, 2020, and is comprised of five squadrons across the United States that carry out the mission of the new operations-focused structure. The USSF has a ‘flattened’ organizational structure, meaning it has reduced layers of command, and has removed the requirement for Groups and anything like Numbered Air Force levels, according to 2nd Lt. Nathanial Akers, Cyber Defense Correlation Cell for Space senior watch officer. “This change allows communication and decision-making information to flow between the Field Commands (considered Major Command equivalents) and the Deltas,” Akers explains. Space Delta 6 provides critical mission assuredness to each of the 8 deltas within the U.S. Space, conducting no-fail operations every day. “[Space] Delta 6 is the premier leader of space access and cyber defense for the USSF,” said Akers. Akers said their mission is to provide continuous space access and availability through the Satellite Control Network, along with organizing and operating Defensive Cyberspace operations capabilities. Not only does Space Delta 6 work around the clock, their reach is virtually everywhere. “[Our mission] spans across the globe, all five domains of warfare are affected-- land, sea, air, space, and cyberspace.” Akers said “[We] provide the DoD, partner organizations, as well as coalition allies the...
