Cyberspace Baby!!!

Though I agreed with all ten definitions of cyberspace listed by Michael Benedikt, and liked them all, the one that grabbed me the most was:

Cyberspace: Its corridors form wherever electricity runs with intelligence. Its chambers

bloom wherever data gathers and is stored. Its depths increase with every image or word

or number, with every addition, every contribution, of fact or thought. Its horizons recede in every direction; it breathes larger, it complexifies, it embraces and involves. Billowing,

glittering, humming, coursing, a Borgesian library, a city; intimate, immense, firm, liquid,

recognizable and unrecognizable at once.

I was laying in bed thinking about this assignment and what I thought cyberspace meant. In my own words, it means infinite possibilities. Anyone and everyone's ideas thrown out into open space for most or all, to do with them what they like. Ideas made to be reproduced into better versions, worse versions, even similar versions. Cyberspace crosses boundaries, pushes the limits of thought, interaction, socializing, accessibility, technology, marketing and has endless possibilities. We love it, we hate it, we are scared by it, but we embrace it. Its a place to advance our ideas, beliefs, thoughts, interests, and reach people we could never expect, or dream of reaching. Its anything and everything all wrapped into one, intertwined, becoming what it couldn't have been yesterday, what it is today, and possibly, what it could be tomorrow. And above all, and nothing else, it's a beautiful thing!!!
