Cyberspace

Cyberspace is a really interesting phenomena that has come to be in the 21st century. It is a place where we all interact, but never actually have been. Whether it is through email, IM, text, phonecall, VR, etc, its a part of almost all modern communication (besides face to face contact).

Virtual reality, though it has slowed down in progress, has some really cool aspects to it. The army frequently creates simulators to imagine what iit would be like in battle. Drawing from this technology, consumers have been exposed to virtual reality through all sorts of different things. Disney world had this exhibit where you could ride a "virtual space mountain": (skip to about 1:30 for the video)

  1. I have great admiration for WDW's media sense, they really understand the concept of media environments.
