	Sirius Cybernetics Corporation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Sirius Cybernetics Corporation is a fictional company from Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
		In the series, the SCC is responsible for the design and creation of a wide range of robots and labour-saving devices, such as lifts, automatic doors, ventilation systems, the infamous Nutrimatic Drink Dispenser, digital watches (substituted by polyphonic ringtones, palmtops and computer operating systems in the 2005 radio series).
		Referring to the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation, their biggest problem is reported to be that "[o]ne is blinded to the fundamental uselessness of their products by the sense of achievement one feels in getting them to work at all.

	What is Cybernetics ? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Cybernetics as a discipline was developed by Norbert Wiener (in Cybernetics, or control and communication in the animal and machine, 1948) and others such as William Ross Ashby.
		Cybernetics is associated in many people's minds with robotics, due to uses such as Douglas Adams' Sirius Cybernetics Corporation and the concept of a cyborg.
		Cybernetics, deriving from the Greek word for steersman (kybernetes), was first introduced by the mathematician Wiener, as the science of communication and control in the animal and the machine (to which we now might add: in society and in individual human beings).

	Marvin the Paranoid Android - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the BBC TV series, the marketing division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation defines a robot [like Marvin] as "Your plastic pal who's fun to be with".
		Marvin is paranoid in the literal sense that he deems himself more important than he truly is. Marvin is more obviously afflicted with severe depression and boredom, in part because he has a "brain the size of a planet" which he is seldom allowed to use.
		Kimi Wong was the female voice accompanying Stephen Moore (the original radio and TV voice of Marvin) on "Marvin, I Love You" which is a love song to Marvin.

		SCC has recently learned that General Dynamics will be bidding on a federal contract related to a proposed missile defense system.
		SCC realized that it might take some time for workers to become proficient in the new method, but went ahead with the suggested modification, on a trial basis.
		You believe that it is important for SCC to get this contract, since it would represent the company's significant first major foray into the world of government aerospace contracts.

	Norbert Wiener related links
		"Pictured by the author as a cybernetic rather than an atomic age, the Cold War is shown to be structured by the quest for a cybernetic modelling of human intelligence capable to eliminate uncertainty.
		"He was launching his vision of cybernetics in which he regarded signals in any medium, living or artificial, as the same; dependent on their structure and obeying a set of universal laws set out by Shannon.
		The essential aim of cybernetics, then, is to advance the state of knowledge of the system, at all levels, by enhancing the understanding of the control and communication processes regulating their functional aspects."

	Serious Cybernetics Corporation - Uncyclopedia
		Not to be confused with the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation, the Serious Cybernetics Corporation produced cybernetic equipment completely devoid of any sense of humor during the later 22nd century.
		Founded in 2168, Serious Cybernetics was originally started by Steve Ballmer, after an ironic near-death experience with a falling Google sign.
		The devastated Ballmer sold Serious Cybernetics Corporation in 2171 after realizing that he had only provided fuel for the monologues of late night talk show personalities.

		Marvin, or Marvin the Paranoid Android as he is sometimes called in the book, is a clinically depressed robot with a brain the size of a planet, and a depression complex to match.
		Marvin was created by the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation, and was given a GPP, or "Genuine People Personalities", routine in order to better blend in with customers' day to day lives.
		He was initially marketed by the marketing division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation as "Your Plastic Pal Who's Fun To Be With", though that campaign seems to have been slightly less than honest, not to mention wholly unsuccessful, considering Marvin's personality.
