But first, let's first settle on some terms. I'm not particularly thrilled by that term either, because video conferencing on the internet surely allows people to present their faces to each other. Well, I've already given away my preference for a term, as you've probably guessed - unless you let the title of this article slip right by you. So it seems like a term that safely falls outside the realm of cyberspace. It conjures up feelings of place, location, and spatial interaction.
People do indeed experience cyberspace as containing places where they go and meet others.
Rather than highlighting the fact that cyberspace is controlled by computers, I like to emphasize instead that it is a psychological and social space. With terms in hand, we're back to the showdown. So, before getting to the five senses, let's back up a notch to examine language. A powerful way that people connect to each other is through words. Even today, typed-text accounts for a very large majority of communication over the internet.
