"Our own ignorance about the digital third world is part of the problem", an Interview with Robin Hamman zum Thema: Mister Hamman, you are the editor of the e-zine "Cybersociology", which has discussed the "Digital Third Worlds" in one of its issues. Could you please give us a specific definition of the phenomenon "Digital Third Worlds" in comparison to the classical notion of the Third World?

Cybernetics is a transdisciplinary [ 1 ] approach for exploring regulatory systems , their structures , constraints, and possibilities. Cybernetics is relevant to the study of systems, such as mechanical, physical, biological, cognitive, and social systems . Cybernetics is applicable when a system being analyzed is involved in a closed signaling loop; that is, where action by the system generates some change in its environment and that change is reflected in that system in some manner ( feedback ) that triggers a system change, originally referred to as a "circular causal" relationship. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cybernetics
