Abstract:	Recalls the early life of Norbert Wiener and describes some of the works that initiated the cybernetic movement. Highlights people who influenced Wiener and leads on to who/what Wiener has influenced, and what particular branches of science are offshoots of Wiener’s concepts. Concludes with the thought that the interdisciplinary science of cybernetics has integrated the physical and behavioural sciences and that above all, he will be remembered for this.
