cybernated
Run by machines
Cybernated describes systems or processes controlled by computers or automation, from cybernetics—the study of communication and control in machines and living things.
A cybernated factory runs with minimal human intervention.
The term peaked in mid-20th-century futurism about automated societies: The cybernated economy would free workers from drudgery.
Now largely replaced by "automated" or "computerized."
