Cyberspace (Blog Week 12)

The reading on "Cyberspace" was actually quite interesting, since I "log" onto to Cyberspace everyday, I related to it very well. I agree that Cyberspace isn't a physical place and there aren;t many boundaries but it is still a place in its own way because you can do many things without people telling you what you can and can't do, like in the real world. Although you aren't there physically you are there participating in what you are actually looking at or doing. Just because you can't use your senses to be a part of that place doesn't mean you aren't really there. Cyberspace is infinite and that's what is great about it. There are so many things you can do in cyberspace including chat rooms, Facebook, Google, Yahoo, and company websites. Oh and Twitter. Cyberspace even has it's own language because the internet is put together by special encodings to make things the way the look and sound and how they work. There is no real distance between things in cyberspace because your always a click away from something or someone, literally. Whereas in the real world you are have to drive or walk to a certain place to actually be there. Cyberspace can save time and money in almost all scenarios.

  1. Interesting thoughts, Drew - though this blog was moved to Week 14. Keep your eye on the course calendar.
