Examples
-
No available models can adequately, much less precisely, predict the rate at which an industry will cybernate as a response to domestic or foreign competition or the degree to which other unanticipated changes in associated technologies and products — not to mention the interplay of economic, humanitarian, public relations, and other factors — may make cybernation more or less possible and pervasive in a given industry.
Automation Michael, Donald N. 1965

Automation Keyserling, Leon H. 1965
