- jcr 14y agoThe "cyber-" prefix is actually much older than Gibson. In English, the use came from the term "cybernetic" and that term came from or was based on Greek. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/cyber- http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/cyber- http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/cybernetics http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/cybernetics
