Cyberspace and Myths

Myths and cyberspace, hmm. The big truth about myths is that they exist for a reason, if one has been created over time; that myth must've had some factual base to start with and been warped over time to what the story is now. Even if the myth is not true, what has to be taken into the account is that these stories are warnings, thell tell tales and have lessons behind the deeper meaning behind the myth. When people first talked about how the internet was going to revolutionize everything that we do with; work, school, research, shopping, investing and anything that wenormally do in our daily lives as kids and adults, they believed that nothing in such a short period of time could make a change on that magnitudal of a scale. The internet has been around for decades, but in the publicized viewed it has completely changed and revolutionized life. This fear of change that people have for the internet, or cyberspace, needs to be toppled since this technology is not going anywhere. Things normally don't regress as time goes on, life will only get more advanced and people are going to have to find the means of keeping up with these changes or being left behind in a "simple world" that isn't so simple anymore. Believing that the Internet was going to do what it has done in a little under a decade would have been a myth to people in the 80's, nothing like this has been heard of. Truthfully, we as people, a society, and race need to learn how to pic, choose, and interpret myths so we can begin to embrace them and adapt quickly. Cyberspace is, in my opinion a lame term, will not be going anywhere. People are going to be communicating thousands of miles apart from here on in, kids will be gaming online with people of new cultures and learning how to and how-not to be a person this way, research between two foreign companies will be traded over e-mail and this cyberspace, has made it possible for the world to do something this amazing at this magnitude.
