Cyberspace and the old text method is basically just the same thing. In a way, this is like the affective, the cognitive, and the sensory-motor areas of a person's mind. What media transmits to a person is information. This is not physical information, but the information that your mind processes, along with thoughts, feelings and dreams. This goes along with the idea of Dr. James theory that cyberspace is a vitual world that is made up of information.
Information is different from data.
Data is physical, such as the the thing that travels through your cable hookup that leads to your television or the thing that is stored on your computer. The manifestaion of that data in a form that allows the mind to interpert or make meaning of all of that data is called information. This information you recieved from media, you analyize it and see how it relates to you. It does not take place in a physical place. It takes place in the mind.
