Cybernetics is the product of automatic control, electronic technology, radio communication, computer technology, neurophysiology, psychology, mathematical logic, statistical mechanics and comprehensive science, which embodies the development trend of modern science and technology integration. From the historical review of Wiener's founding of cybernetics, it is not difficult to find that there are many important methodological inspirations in terms of his strategic thinking and specific research methods.

Wiener and others were able to establish this new discipline precisely because of his unique strategic thinking, which enabled him to look at the overall situation from a strategic height, so as to grasp the characteristics of the development of contemporary science and technology in time and realize that the mutual infiltration between disciplines has become the trend of scientific development, which eventually led to a breakthrough in cybernetics and opened up a brand-new research field.

Wiener called cybernetics "the science of control and communication in animals and machines". This clearly pointed out that this new discipline he founded not only broke through the boundary between animals and machines, but also broke through the boundary between control engineering and communication engineering. He endowed the purposeful behavior of animals to machines, and compared some mechanisms between animals and machines, thus mastering the characteristics of all communication and control systems. Synthesize from a more general theory to form a new theory with a more general meaning. He regards finding the connection between disciplines as the purpose of creating cybernetics, and calls the innovative field of control and communication theory machine and animal cybernetics.

In the research of cybernetics, Wiener also broke through the shackles of traditional methods and provided a new method for the research of modern science and technology. He decided and adjusted his own motion characteristics according to some changes of the automatic control system with the surrounding environment, abandoned the mechanical determinism of Newton and Laplace, and established cybernetics on the basis of new statistical theory. He put aside the concrete forms of matter and energy of objects and focused on the function of the system from the information aspect. He does not study the behavior of the system here and now, but pays attention to all possible behavior patterns and States and their changing trends. He consciously applied functional simulation method, system method, feedback method and information method as scientific methods to the research of control and communication system. These methods have effectively promoted the development of scientific theory in the direction of synthesis, systematization and synthesis, and have universal methodological significance. They are widely used in biology, neurophysiology, psychology, medicine, engineering technology, economic management and social management, and have made remarkable achievements. At the same time, cybernetics has a far-reaching impact on modern economic and social management.
