(The Birth and Death of Cyberspace)
Lecture:
Cyberspace = the creation of a new world.
The creation of a new eletronic world. A world of which anything can happen, away from the normal world. The term cyberspace was first used by William gibbson, it's all about science and eletronic communication.
To understand the idea of cyberspace i found that thinking of the 'Matrix'helps as it is along the lines of that.
Its a virtual world, the characteristics of which are made up by the computerised environment.
Virtual worlds are common nowdays, it's like a separate online community, they can be found in online games and video games such as 'Halo' and 'Second Life
"cyberspace is socialising however through a computer, it's all quite technical when you look at it in depth"
