Root Explanation

Cybernation is formed from "cyber-" (from Greek "kybernetes", meaning steersman or governor) and "nation" (from Latin "natio", meaning birth or people). The term refers to a community or society that is governed or organized through digital technology.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'steersman' ('cyber-') guiding a 'community' ('nation') — that's how cybernation represents a society organized through technology.
