Notes

  1. 1.

    Even though it has become commonplace to use the word “cyber” as a general prefix to refer to computer-controlled activities, we prefer the word digital. The prefix “cyber” originates from cybernetics, which represents the art of steermanship (Ashby, 1956), which was intended as a generic notion and not to be solely linked to the use of computers for steering and control.

  2. 2.

    This project was co-funded by the FNR and the SNSF, the Luxembourgish and Swiss research funding agencies, respectively.
