WHAT DOES CYBERSPACE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

cyberspace

Cyberspace

Cyberspace is "the notional environment in which communication over computer networks occurs." The term was first used in science fiction and cinema in the 1980s, was adopted by computer professionals and became a household term in the 1990s. During this period, the uses of the internet, networking, and digital communication were all growing dramatically and the term "cyberspace" was able to represent the many new ideas and phenomena that were emerging. The parent term of cyberspace is "cybernetics", derived from the Ancient Greek κυβερνήτης, a word introduced by Norbert Wiener for his pioneering work in electronic communication and control science. As a social experience, individuals can interact, exchange ideas, share information, provide social support, conduct business, direct actions, create artistic media, play games, engage in political discussion, and so on, using this global network. They are sometimes referred to as cybernauts. The term cyberspace has become a conventional means to describe anything associated with the Internet and the diverse Internet culture.

Definition of cyberspace in the English dictionary

1
Thomas P.M. Barnett
Is there anything about cyberspace that particularly screams Air Force? Not really. If cyber warfare is going to be as all-encompassing as it's made out to be by its vigorous proponents, then it will disseminate throughout the services even more than the drone phenomenon has.

Robert Darnton

3
James Gleick
Cyberspace as a mode of being will never go away. We live in cyberspace.
4
Judith Martin
One of the big no-nos in cyberspace is that you do not go into a social activity, a chat group or something like that, and start advertising or selling things. This etiquette rule is an attempt to separate one's social life, which should be pure enjoyment and relaxation, from the pressures of work.
5
Armistead Maupin
When I get back from this book tour, I'm planning to learn the internet. Maybe I can hook up in cyberspace.
6
Kevin Mitnick
Hackers are becoming more sophisticated in conjuring up new ways to hijack your system by exploiting technical vulnerabilities or human nature. Don't become the next victim of unscrupulous cyberspace intruders.
7
Nicholas Negroponte
This is just the beginning, the beginning of understanding that cyberspace has no limits, no boundaries.
8
Charles Platt
As cyberspace matures into a totally immersive experience, I'm betting it will turn out to be fully odor-enabled.

Lemn Sissay
I have spent most of my adult life proving that I existed. A blog is an accessible way of doing this - there is a date and place in cyberspace that I existed a year ago, to the day, and the proof is still there.
10
Bruce Sterling
I used to think that cyberspace was fifty years away. What I thought was fifty years away, was only ten years away. And what I thought was ten years away... it was already here. I just wasn't aware of it yet.
