Week 2

CYBERSPACE
The article gives us a many definitions of cyberspace in different angles. Cyberspace as a world of knowledge, entertainment, cyberspace in the purpose of "for sale", cyberspace as a virtual world. Cyberspace seems to be a very queer thing and it seems to be true in every single definition here in this article.
Karl Popper - a philosopher of science of this century and his 3 worlds are brought in this discussion in relation to cyberspace. According to him, world 1 is an objective world of material, natural things and their physical properties. World 2 is a subjective world of consciousness. And finally, "world 3 is the world of objective, real and public structures which are not necessarily intentional products of the minds of living creatures, interacting with each other and with the natural world 1".
