Well, no doubt, cyberspace had diffuse into the people's mind nowadays. Cyberspace, a new place for you to live. Cyberspace = my own imaginary world. Well this is quite true because in cyberspace, the virtual space that you can had 100% freedom of speech, you can express whatever beliefs, feeling, emotion or thoughts at here. Just to your own.
I think cyberspace is like our online diary. Don't you think so? Everything you want to say, it all appears in your blogs, tumblrs, Facebook, Myspace, or even Twitter! Everything is online.
Hello, buddy!
What is appear in your mind when you feel like want to share your thoughts or feeling, Facebook status update? Twitter 140 characters to put your one day experience in 140 characters? Well, this all happen...in the cyberspace.
Very agree with Barlow's sentences: "Our identities have no bodies." Our mind had represent our identity.How you perceived a person is look through his/her Facebook profile? Or read through the blog that he/she posted? Well, it's a good things at least because this let people have the motivation or purpose to concern people. Because you wouldn't know that the strangers that walking past you at the morning is your Facebook friend. This is powerful of the cyberspace.
Unfortunately, cyberspace should have the broad view of green and wide field but now it had been build up by the obstacles such as tall building. Who is the tall building here? Government. Well, government had take charge in the cyberspace without authority which was described by Barlow. He didn't agree that government should take charge in cyberspace without the permission of the users in the cyberspace. It's offensive and also disturbing. It's like the alien coming to invade the earth. Without permission.
Totally agree with Barlow that government should not in charge of setting up the laws and regulations in cyberspace as everyone are treated fairly in here. But from other point of view, it's possible to maintain the peacefully situation in a long term? What happen is that not much know how to use the cyberspace smartly. It's really a good space for people to express their feelings, but what's more is the emotions that they express. It may become another way of expression. It's affected the people in the cyberspace. For example: Virus. Rumors.
Even though cyberspace are the place that people are treated fairly but more than that are how the users consume the cyberspace? What's their behavior in the cyberspace? Is it bringing a negative effect in the cyberspace society? This is the questions that we should take more time to think more deeply.
Much welcome of your critics and questions. :) Together, we choose to learn with good attitude in cyberspace. :)
