Background
"Man-Computer Symbiosis" is the title of a work by J.C.R. Licklider, which was published in 1960. The paper represented what we would today consider a fundamental, or key text of the modern computing revolution. The work describes something of Lickliders' vision for a complementary (symbiotic) relationship between humans and computers at a potential time of the future. According to Bardini, Licklider envisioned a future time when machine cognition (cerebration) would surpass and become independent of human direction, as a basic stage of development within human evolution. Jacucci gives the description of Lickliders' vision as being the very tight coupling of human brains and computing machines (c.f. brain, the term cohesion & the general definitions of the term coupling).
