The varieties of cyberspace; problems in definition and
delimitation
Lance Strate in this article takes us on a journey across
the taxonomy of cyberspace as a factor that has taken the media by storm. He
notes that is a fact we cannot ignore and from this point, one notices that in
this writing he means business. The author seeks to do away with the poor
mapping for the cyberspace territory in order for people to understand
cyberspace.
Going deep into the article, a person can easily note the
immense work put into ensuring that the article can be synthesized by any
person in a clear and understandable way. The author uses tables to evaluate
and present or breakdown cyberspace into different parts for people to
understand. Lance also employs the work of other different authors to discuss
relevant points such as reasons why people do understand cyberspace, his
evidence for information presented and other important details are well
referenced and cited.
Lance seeks to leave no stone untouched in this article as
one can notice by depth of discussion. The author describes the varieties of
cyberspace and uses modern day examples to explain creation and characteristics
of different aspects of the cyber world. I love the language used-it is very
rich in vocabulary, despite appearing technical, and the author manages to
communicate all the essential points to readers without breaking a sweat.
In conclusion, I can only refer to this article as a
stunning piece of work in trying to explain something that seems very
complicated. The author has outdone himself by producing yet another
recommended work for the academic world.
