'Of Interest: "cyber-", derived from "cybernetic", is used in the names of cybersex, cyberspace, cyberpunk, cyberhomes and cyberhate, but has been largely surpassed by "e-". "cyber-" also largely maintains grammatical and contextual accuracy, in that "cybernetic" denotes control of speech and functional processes. To the extent that it is used in the computer or electronic context to denote control (typically electronic or remote) of the word it precedes, it is used accurately. See, e.g., "Cyborg" under History, below. To the extent that "cyber" is used to describe entities existing (or events occuring) "in cyberspace," its use is arguably accurate as well. However, the term "cyberspace" (one of the earliest and most widespread uses of the prefix "cyber-") was itself one of the least grammatically accurate uses, in that cyberspace is not actual space electronically or remotely controlled. Thus "virtual space" or "virtual universe" would have been a more grammatically accurate term although arguably lacking the existential connotation provided by "cyberspace." This connotation gives the term a contextual accuracy and prevents its being lured astray by association with the popular term "virtual world," which has a very different and grammatically accurate common meaning."  (Source: Wikipedia)
