Cyberspace ??
In term of "Cyber" use to describe almost anything that has to do with networks and computer..
"Space" is refer to the unseen places, which we couldn't see,the connection among ppls..
it is used to describe the virtual world of computers. For example, an object in cyberspace refers to a block of data floating around a computer system or network. With the advent of the Internet, cyberspace now extends to the global network of computers. So, after sending an e-mail to your friend, you could say you sent the message to her through cyberspace. However, use this term sparingly, as it is a popular newbie term and is well overused.

Human + Internet = Cyberspace we can do everything through online. E-business,E-shopping,E-learning and so on |
"we did not invite you, You do not know us, nor do you know our world"What barlow's article trying say is that, everyone are using the cyberspace, everyone have they right to voice out, everyone can share their happiness or emotional through the cyberspace. They are no one forcing us must attend to this cyberspace, but it just because of we tend to adapt to the society... We can share everything through online as we want, the cyber space is open for everyone,welcoming to everyone. Who cares what you write? Unless you are some famous people or celebrity, or else who will care what you write about. In the cyberspace we have freedom to do whatever in online, we can share our true feeling, hidden feeling or some personal view, sometime we cannot say something infront of the peoples, but we can voice out in the cyberspace, we have our privacy to do so, whether people view it or not.
""We are creating a world that all may enter without privilege or prejudice accorded by race, economic power, military force, or station of birth"Today, there are so much things can do by just sitting in front of the computer. From now on we can just know the latest "news" from internet, we can know the "weather forecast", we can online shopping instead of going to shopping center, there are more and more can be done in the cyberspace. Everyone are welcome to join this cyberspace, you don't need to be some certain specific religion or race, there are no qualification to buy the entry fee or cyberspace, the only requirement are you must be a human being and you are require a computer with the internet connection. There are no time limit for visiting to cyberspace, as long as you have the connection, you can access to cyberspace anytime as you like, cyberspace is welcoming all of you to voice out your though on the cyber world without any restriction, without any rule and regulation.
The pros and Cons for cyberspace are very subjective. It's depend on the cyberspace users. |
In cyberspace, you could involve on the development of social skills, or the unearthing of one's true character to then be reflected in reality.
ReplyDeleteFor example,the outlet the internet provides for gay community.
So, it proves the statement that the Barlow's article :"We are creating a world that all may enter without privilege or prejudice accorded by race, economic power, military force, or station of birth"
Everyone has the right to voice out, but somehow the Cyberspace of Barlow mentioned and the Cyberspace we are involving now is different. Because, Malaysia has ISA (Internal Security Act)which will arrest and restrict people from exposing the news on the web that should not be. Thus, crucial issues are always being arouse among the culture, religion and etc.
ReplyDeleteNice post! You have give me another way to see this issues. Well said of the point.
ReplyDeletePeople really don't care what others people write as long as they are involved in cyberspace. No one force them to join in. But because the reason that they want to adapt the culture, cyberspace had eventually becoming their personal space. Everyone had the privacy on themselves and cyberspace is the best way to said them out because no ones knows you. You can use the nickname and fake identities but post with your real experience and feelings.
At the end of the day, cyberspace will eventually become our online diary as we record everything in the cyberspace.
Hi, I like "Once you are cyberspace users, we all are in one family." We use cyberspace and we do not care who are using it, we connect to each other with no borders.
ReplyDeleteMoreover, with the convenience of networks we can do many things just what you have said, we could check weather forecast, read news and many things just with the computer and also Internet access.
In my opinion, since the networks give lots of freedom, services, and knowledges then, certain people misuse it and it is true, good or bad, it always depends on how the individual uses it.
I agree with this statement you made. "hey are no one forcing us must attend to this cyberspace, but it just because of we tend to adapt to the society"
ReplyDeleteEveryone now is following the trend only. Take myself as an example, I am in Facebook is because all of my friends are playing. Everyone want to follow the norm., they dont want to be the abnormal one.
I agree that cyberspace has no boundaries. It is a space with no limitation that is for everyone and no one has the right to tell what is right and not.But however being ethical and not misusing becomes a social responsibility for all so that everyone can benefit good things out of it. A very nice article.
ReplyDeleteHi Mun,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you point, "we are one big family"
In cyberspace, don't care who you are, how old you are, where you from, as long as you are online. You can related to each others. The relationship is like parent and sibling, we are dependent with each others.
In cyberspace, we are one big family because we connect and link to each other through the network. Human + internet = cyberspace, you create an impressive statement and it caught my attention.
ReplyDeleteGood job Siew Mun, bright future for you.
