The birth and death of web

In this lecture, we first discussed if people’s mind and body can be separated. This question has to link to the meaning of cyberspace. If cyber is the communication between animal and machine, cyberspace can be explained as the space or environment which supports the communication between animal and machine. Of cause, only the human mind can communicate with machine, so when human’s mind works together with machine, they are working in a special place which is cyberspace.

The movie is a very good example of the idea of human mind and body can be separated. In my opinion, the movie more like people plays some kind of video game. The difference between the video game we play is that when you die in the game, you also die in the real world.

The death of cyber does not mean cyber disappears. On the contrary, the using of cyber in our life is become more and more common, it already become every part of our lives. Thus, people are used to living in this environment, and do not talk too much about cyber.

There is a questions, “where are you going in your head when you talking to your friend on mobile?”
Obviously, when people talking on mobile, their mind are not totally exist in the real world or current real situation. For example, I saw a lot of people when they talking on mobile they are wave their hand and show a lot of motion, it is looks like the people they are talking with are actually standing in front of them. So, I think when people are talking on mobile, their mind are going to a special situation which they imagine their friend are together with them.
