The idea of cyberspace has been a part of our contemporary culture for some time , particularly in the popular medium of film . But is the concept of cyberspace still relevant to our contemporary society? Discuss with reference to your own experience of temporary media.

Cyberspace is a much more difficult term to define.It is the global domain of electromagnetics as employed through electronic technology and it enables to succeed a wide range of communication . Its occupation is to produce a virtual interactive experience accessed for the purpose of communication and control unheeding of a geographic location. The construction of cyberspace environment has been a goodness for more than a decade since the emergence of possibilities that is the internet.

Large part of cyberspace work is done by William Gibson and he is the one who develpoed the notion of cyberspace. Also in his science fiction he used the word “Neuromancer” to the Cyberspace.

Ran corporation is brought the idea of the internet in 1960 .In those days internet just enabled the search facility whereas nowadays it has developed into a prominent term as Cyberspace.Actually, it does not lie within the borders. It is wrong to think that you can build it, as though it were a public construction project. Also it posses the qualities of artificial intelligence as it continues to develop more wondering skills in its leading path’s which exist in today’s virtual world. This virtual reality and imagination makes people to experience in ways to the real world. For instance people could communicate, share, and explore, research, do businesses, play and shop. It does not require any physical movement except moving the hand for such as typing. To clarify, it consists of transactions, relationships, and thought itself, arrayed like a standing flourish in the web of our communications. Ours is a world that is both everywhere and nowhere, but it is not where bodies live.

Therefore it is understood Internet is the large part of cyberspace which exists in today’s world. Also it is used by millions of people for different purposes such as to collect information about a particular subject, know the worldly events,to participate in politics, view and share the media , watch movies and many more.The internet’s world wide web is the instrument which allows and assists people to experience all these events mentioned above.

It is clear that the entire world is swamped by the events of virtual reality which is the primary feature of cyberspace so that it confirms cyberspace has become our part of contemperory society. Virtual reality movies are good examples for which allow sentient programs to interact with humans. Andoromedia,Avolon,Avatar,(cyber wars),E xistenz, I.K.U,Lawn mower man and Matrix are some of the examples for virtual reality movies. For instance “Matrix” which is already one of the most dominant in science fiction, and is strictly one of the keystone cyberpunk movies in existence today. Also it pushes the limits of computerized influence and shows such as terrific action, splendid cyberpunk concepts, incredible cyberpunk visuals, cool idealistic thoughts, and an absolutely awesome soundtrack to emphasize its idea. People in Matrix believe that this cyberspace is real. But if someone is brought outside the matrix can realize which is virtual world or just a production of software. Therefore this kind of work enables users to change directions of the society such as make people believe that they can not do. To exemplify when neo a main character from matrix, learns to handle bullets this is seen as an unworkable job by others. Because they believe as cyber world is similar to the real world. Many folks believe that matrix is real and do not perceive the cruel fact of the real world that exists. This conception has been emphasized in comparatively new movies as well so that shows clearly the inspiration of cyberspace is still relevant in society (Andy & Larry Wachoski, 1999).

Cyberspace plays significant roles in each person’s life as i observed. I am also involved in this interactive and imaginary world.I am a only a participant but not an addict. It provides interact with people all over the world. As a cyberspace participant I do many useful thinks in my life. For example, I chat with my friends in overseas and speak to one another using video call which allow us to see the person who I speak to and also it gives the real feeling that I am talking face to face. It is amazing. Moreover I use conference call using skpe, yahoo or msn to talk to my father, mother and brothers which is thrilling event and not only makes me glad but enables me to talk to everyone in my family at the same time as we all at home together.It is a wonderful facility which cyberspace permits.As well as that I shop my cloths, jewelleries , watches , bags and books from overseas so that I get the stuff I want. Similarly,face book allows me talk to my friends live far away, exchange messages faster, exchange pictures, find old friends and kep in touch. Also cyberspace allow us to do different things such as go in the roller coaster using 3D world if you have not experienced and it gives the real amazing experience. Therefore I think cyberspace gives lots of valuable experiences which push people stick into it. Therefore it is appropriate to say that “cyberspace has been a part of our culture”.
