That is a very self limiting view of cyber. A very network centric view of cyber. Yet cyber is much more than just the network. It is found in the operating systems, the thinking of users, and much more. It is is the electro magnetic spectrum. Since cyber really comes from command and control (as discussed by Norbert Wiener fifty or so years ago, and we can see cyber going back centuries it is not just an Internet fad. Even William Gibson realized when coining cyber space that there was more to cyber than just the network.
