The Birth (and Death?) of Cyberspace.

The birth of cyberspace can be evaluated as it is since when the computers took over our lives. It is the virtual society of worldwide network of computer networks that use the TCP/IP network protocols to facilitate data transmission and exchange. cyberspace can be simply defined  as it is the virtual world, which exists but can't be felt, although it seems like the real world like the virtual land, virtual lives and virtual societies, but does not exist as the same physical reality as the real world does.

According to the guruesque William Gibson, cyberspace is a 'consensual hallucination'. cyberspace is a place whare everything lies in virtual and digital  form and experinced by billions of opratoers on the daily bases to exchange the infomation data. Jari Peltola defines 'cyberspace is made of information offering great power to those who can manipulate information.
In the real world the walls of brick and glass create division but in cyberspace walls of data divide a hardwired, of postorganic, humanity into economic protagonists, humanity into economic protagonists’ (thomas:1991:44).
