Week 2 reviews

This author writing about cyberspace, what is it? How is it like? how will be like?
Also he describes these point by 5 threads; commonness of mind(Myth), technological experiences, architecture, and mathematics.

My experience of/in cyberspace is second life. In second life world, we play original character,
and communicate and live a life through own character. Physically people are not living, but
people have a social activities, like as real world.

The biggest different thing between real world and cyberspace is that cyberspace have been all created by human in real world. On the other hand, people have influenced by unexpected force, such as earthquake, tunami, falling stones and so on. I know this is too simple idea, but by thinking like that, it will be easy to understand this author's ideas. Cyberspace can not be replace with real world where we are living, but we can reflect our live on cyberspace, which means cyberspace would no be get matured and developed along with our real world, i think.

The idea to approach media through "spiritual"telegraph is pretty interesting.
There is no doubt Media has been developed with and by technology. On the other hand,
spiritual thing is supernatural, and even I do not trust such a ghost, and something special powers.
Thus, media and spiritual are totally opposite things.  

But i just remember what my mother told me. When she was a child, TV was seemed magical box for her. Also in time traveling movies, it is usual that person who came from past gets surprised
with TV, and as looking at TV screen, say "are they living in such a small box?" 

Now we are excited with 3D, which makes audience to feel image more real. But we can not touch it. It seems like ghost, doesn't it?

I am not sure, but it might spiritual experience have been inspired technological creativity.
