The Birth and Death of Cyberspace

According to Nicole Stenger “Cyberspace can be seen as the new bomb, a pacific blaze that will outline the imprint of our disembodied selves on the walls of eternity”. One of the best example of Cyberspace was shown in Matrix.



 In cyberspace, one  can get digitalized images of the interior of some libraries or museums, and can also see pictures of space. Most of the people describe it as the second life.




 The internet allows us to create a second life through creative arrangement of items through our thought to form a particular cultural, social or behavioural ideology. It allows people to innovatively create or design artistic concepts that are not only major accomplishment of their mental cognisance but interesting to others as well. For example 3D is a famous creative design used as a telescopic mirror to view world in a very appealing way. People use animations to construct towns, cities, design artistic sketches making them look as real as possible and to depict real life experiences.
Professor Sue Thomus noted that in past people used hidden identities on cyberspace, but in recent time people use their real names. One very good example is facebook  explained by Thomas (2011) that you may not enjoy social media like Facebook and Twitter if you do not use your real name.
