ABSTRACT
Science, like all other cultural institutions, has its fads, but Cybernetics is not one of them. This development of a science of control and communication by Wiener, Rosenblueth, McCulloch, and others is not only an exciting extension of scientific inquiry, but it is a fruitful one as well. The concepts and methods of cybernetics are by no means restricted to the problems of servomechanisms, or even neural physiology, though the impetus came from these areas.
