Thanks Lazarus, I figured out the meaning with the rest of the context, which was "Si estudian y no tienen tiempo, abran una tiendita o un ciber." which I figure it mean, "If you study and don't have time, open up a little store or a cyber cafe." Thanks a lot, your response was top notch.

The word is written with accent: "cíber" ("cyber" in English), and it was a termed coined half a century ago to refer to control systems, and by extension, machine communication. The word is from Greek origin and it means "to steer", "to control a ship", "to control", etc. Nowadays the prefix has many uses, but mostly it is understood by its connection to computers or electronic systems in general, including Internet.
