What is it about Cyberspace that makes people flock to it in record numbers? Its development has led to a transformation in the way we think, communicate, and interact. When we look at the history of communication, we see ourselves moving from a point where the church controlled what was learned; no one but the clergy was able to read. This led to the print culture which opened up new and exciting possibilities of communication and interaction. Members of society became functionally literate human beings. (Spender 3) It appeared as though print was the revolutionary medium that was going to change society, but along came the telephone which was prophesized to bring doom and gloom. People were going to be able to contact loved ones, friends, and relatives without ever having to actually see them. (Spender 192) Now fast forward to the twentieth century and we are now seeing people communicate with individuals across the globe. No longer are people restricted to the familiar, but it is possible to be exposed to the unfamiliar. Cyberspace has changed the way individuals interact with one another in their daily lives. Its existence has created a whole new "virtual community" where the norms of face to face interaction is becoming obsolete. The question becomes, how do we balance traditional interaction and communication with the phenomenon of Cyberspace?
