No space in cyber space


Found an interesting quoate saying that vittual spcace is not a tru space but a collections of sepertat objects, futher on in the book it gose on to say that the space in the web  is a "collection of numerous files,hyperlinked but without any overall perspective to unit them."

  1. I read something similar in 'Interface Culture' by S. Johnson

    Who states there is a 'apparent paradox' because:

    'we live in a society that is increasingly shaped by events in cyberspace, and yet cyberspace remains, for all practical purposes, invisible, outside our perceptual grasp. Our only access to this parallel universe of zeros and ones runs through the the conduit of the computer interface'
