One thing I have learned in this project was this website and CMC Blogger. I learned that the posts are totally backwards from what I intended, so if you are just starting to read this blog, start from the bottom! :)
In this journey to define the term cyberspace I am left torn with my definition. While most articles and discussions of the term seem to imply that the world wide web is cyberspace, I have to lean more towards cyberspace being the mythical out there space in the universe that holds, converts, and transmits information. Cyberspace is just that...space in the cyber world. I have found it interesting how early in the evolution of cyberspace it was viewed with an excited cautiousness, but as it evolved it became a place of necessity, but also a place of evil. The want to connect to the world is now strong in all of us and the increase in CMCs has proven that idea. It will be interesting in a time of heightened security to see how the "freedom of speech" aspect of the Internet, or as some would say, cyberspace will evolve.
