Cybernetics

Cybernetics is a science that looks at how we can use technology to try to help solve problems. It is about understanding how machines and technology work and how to use them to help us do things. For example, if someone wants to fly a plane, they would use a special type of machine called a computer to help them understand how to control the plane and make it take off, fly and land. Cybernetics helps us build these computers and understand the technology so that we can use the computer in a safe and efficient way.
