Tute task Week 9

For my essay i have decided to do number 2: The idea of the internet as 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 contemporary media.

When checking on the tute tasks earlier today this week's wasn't posted. I checked when i got home and now know what to do. All i'm saying is that i haven't got any book/journal references but i did my best to find useful online sources for my online essay.

1. http://pespmc1.vub.ac.be/cybspace.html - this one tells me all about cyberspace and its definition. And also tries to grasp the concept of a non-existant/existant 'space'. This source will allow me to define 'cyberspace', and to better understand what i am writing about. "a continuous three-dimensional space is generated by computer, which reacts to the user's movements and manipulations like a real physical space would"
2. http://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=harO_jeoyUwC&oi=fnd&pg=PP15&dq=cyberspace&ots=JWSJbKftBQ&sig=4bS2Z6GQatgcR7P83P7m3M6KH4A#v=onepage&q=&f=false- This source, from a book, details information on the internet. Also talks about the net, cyberspace, the information highway etc. This source will enable me to speak about the internet in today's society. "instead of people talking to machines, computer networks are being used to connect people to people"
3. http://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=x_zOA24lvIIC&oi=fnd&pg=PP9&dq=cyberspace&ots=sgD8L5CF5Q&sig=7n1h67iddsHIxMMMZ1uKh4alMWs#v=onepage&q=&f=false - This source talks about virtual communities and how they are becoming a larger part of society. This source can help in generally answering the essay question. "The arrival of virtual reality and virtual communities... enframe the human body and human communication"
