Sometimes is funny to think that from something small can come out something big and innovative.
In 1984 William Gibson introduced the term of cyberspace (from cybernetics and space) in his science fiction book "Neuromancer". But what is cyberspace???
According to Dr. Stewart's note cyberspace is:
"A consensual hallucination experienced daily by billions of legitimate operators, in every nation, by children being taught mathematical concepts...A graphical representation of data abstracted from the banks of every computer in the human system. Unthinkable complexity. Lines of light ranged in the non-space of the mind, clusters and constellations of data. Like city lights, receding...". [found at Blackboard Academic Suite]
In my opinion cyberspace is a parallel "world" which runs and "lives" not with the same elements as our world but in different way, more liberal. In the same time it use and needs elements of the real world in order to run.
A very good example, in order to understand cyberspace and the parallel "world", is the movie "The Matrix" A world in which you cannot decide for anything because everything is already fixed from programs and on the same time there is the parallel world in which, you decide for your own life and in the same time you have to separate your mind from your body.
