When talking about communication, information, dialogue etc. That may not be, however, always the case. The same may happen in Cyberculture, albeit independently of geographical distribution of participants. A well-known phenomenon in contemporary Internet is the formation of virtual communities . Various discussion groups formed around a specific issue consist of individuals who may never meet physically but are heavily interlinked in cyberspace.
Cyberculture obviously tends towards a greater role of the level of virtual communities.
Individuals have much greater freedom to roam through the network in search of needed, relevant, or interesting knowledge. Thus knowledge may depend not only on external imputs but also on the network's past experience with its own inner activity. In this way the scene would be set for Darwinian evolution. In a sense, the situation is much more complex than in the case of neural brain tissue. An obvious concern arises that anybody could enter non-verified, false, immoral, or dangerous information.
