The Varieties of Cyberspace

 I was initially a bit confused with the different words cybertime, virtual time, cyberspace and so on. But when I thought about it in terms of a computer it made much more sense. As people we associate time to a clock. Now computers have made us think about new phenomenon as they are devices that perform tasks faster than humans. When we think about space it is a physical area or a measurable distance, similarly computers call this cyberspace. The time that the computers take to process, analyze, interpret and execute commands comes under cybertime. Also computers are the devices that get people into a different world, enabling them to be in a different state of mind and place. The network of the computers is cyberspace. This is a non-physical space but existent in the computer world known as paraspace a subdivision under the first level of cyberspace called zero-order cyberspace. Virtual communication is encouraged by cyberspace like Vidhi says.  Cyberspace is based on the physical, perceptual and conceptual aspect of computers and users.
