– Identify what is cybernetics (you can use the definition in the text and also do a search to compare this definition and expand it with other information you find).
Briefly describe how you think the act of drawing might relate to the idea of cybernetics and why
– What examples can you think of in your own practice or life where comparison has played or might play a fundamental role in conversation? Write a short reflection on what you consider to be the benefits or negative consequences of comparison.
– Note points that explain how you think the role of drawing might promote inclusion and equality in the design process and how or when you think it could have negative impacts on inclusion?

Cybernetics is a field of study that focuses on the control and communication processes in living organisms and machines. It can be seen as the science of how humans and machines interact and communicate with each other, and how they can be made to work together effectively. The term “cybernetics” comes from the Greek word “kybernetes”, which means “steersman” or “governor”. It was coined by mathematician Norbert Wiener in the 1940s to describe the study of feedback and control systems in living organisms and machines.
