Cyber Or 14 What is it?

By Rabbi Dr.Moshe Dror
After all of these blogs, you might be curious as to what is Cyber Or?
I would like to suggest how I am using these two terms and what I mean by them.
CYBER:
Cyber is a shortened version of Cyberspace which is a metaphor used in computing and philosophy and sociology that describes all of the many aspects of computing technologies, internet, web, digital, communication networking, and anything else that will come along in this vast area.
The word “ cyberspace” is a combination of cybernetics and space. For a more extensive description of cyberspace see the article in Wikipedia.
The term was coined by the Canadian / American science fiction writer who defined its cyberpunk sub-genre, in 1982 in his novelette “Burning Chrome” in Omni magazine. But it was through the use in Gibson’s novel of 1984-“Neuromancer” that it became widely used and has become the jargon term for all of the many aspects of the information technologies.
“Cyberspace. A consensual hallucination experienced daily by billions of legitimate operators, in every nation, by children being taught mathematical concepts… A graphic representation of data abstracted from banks of every computer in the human system. Unthinkable complexity. Lines of light ranged in the nonspace of the mind, clusters and constellations of data. Like city lights, receding.”
The 2 Minute Siren on Holocaust Remembrance Day
