# Cybercrud

Coined by [[Ted Nelson]], mentioned on the book [[computer-lib-dream-machines|Computer Lib／Dream Machines]].

theTed's own term for the practice of putting things over on people using computers (especially, forcing them to adapt to a rigid, inflexible, poorly thought out system)". In the text, Nelson puts forth the rallying cry "Down with Cybercrud!"
