Founded cybernetics, the study of control and communication in animals and machines, and warned early about what automation would do to labour. He entered university at eleven.
Norbert Wiener was an American computer scientist, mathematician, and philosopher. He became a professor of mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). A child prodigy, Wiener later became an early researcher in stochastic and mathematical noise processes, contributing work relevant to electronic engineering, electronic communication, and control systems.
