Cyberspace is used as a field to preserve this collective identity, not at least in the usage of symbols. The national anthem and flag, art, history, and illustrations of landscapes are available online. This cyber-museum, like the conventional national museums, 'objectifies' the Iranian culture and history, making them 'immortal'. Thereby it creates an 'eternal authenticity', which in turn affirms the durability of the diaspora. Diaspora, like the Internet, has neither a beginning nor an end.
Nobody knows when an exile turns into a diaspora or when a diaspora becomes extinct.
So is the Internet. Both constitute a waved pattern of sites and links. The nature of both is an ongoing process, always becoming, always in between. There is no final destination on the Internet. There are, rather, always other links to journey along and other sites to travel to.
