ORIGINAL: FindingYou To turn a little off topic here: Anyone else have a bad re-action to the term 'cyberspace'? I find it so al gore 'I invented the internet' (I think it was Al Gore who popularized the term cyberspace - correct me on that if you like) I also have bad reactions to cyber anything, or virtual anything... There was actually an alarm company, that advertised itself as a "provider of Virtual security" while this maybe true, I think most poeple would rather have real security, instead of virtual security. Fortunately the company got its just desserts and went under...Virtuality isnt a virtue in every aspect of ones life... Iam FindingYou, here and alt, Occupant most everywhere else... (Iam an active participant in a dozen or so message boards, most dealing with technology and or science) well i'm not excatly sure of what the politically correct term for it is then. How about Cyber waves? Or emmm.. Any other suggestions? The internet? web, or 'net? I just have a reaction to the word cyberspace, is all. Perhaps going back to how techno-wannabe-marketing types use the phrase frequently. Iam strange, I dont like the word/term cyberspace. I didnt realize it was still in common use. I had rather hoped it was like Al Gore, and shrunk off to obscurity...
