The birth and death of Cyberspace!
Interestingly enough, unlike most computer terms, Cyberspace does not actually have a standard, object definition. Instead, it is used primarily to describe the virtual world of computers. Cyberspace is the electronic medium of computer networks, in which online communication tends to take place. Examples of this include Email technology, Twitter, Facebook and many more. The term cyberspace was first used by the cyberpunk science fiction author William Gibson.
It has been suggested that we are not free from the mass media. Furthermore, there are many attached myths that stem from the wold revolving around cyberspace. Many would propose the idea that the Internet is protected, as are its users. Evidently, this is not the case. Identifying people over the Internet is easily done, so could it be said that the Internet is not protected? IP addresses prove this, so surly this sufficient evidence justifies further that the internet is not protected.
Many have suggested that cyberspace will die, or at least the cyberspace that we know. From what I understand, cyberspace revolves around the work and development of the Internet; therefore it is impossible for it to die out isn’t it? Technology is prominent in our lives; so surly the development of cyberspace is forever increasing? This is indeed a rhetorical question and its answer is only available through a matter of opinion. As mentioned before, in my mind I see the death of cyberspace being virtually impossible, instead the theory will develop along side technology.
