Forty years ago, space was seen as the new frontier for man to explore. The world was awed by the placement of man from the planet to the heavens above. When Neil Armstrong first stepped on the moon the world was at a stand still. The prospect of space travel seemed inevitable. However, our progress with space travel has been very slow. Both the restraints on the human body and our inability to find a greater means of propulsion have limited our advancement. We may one day motor through the galaxies, but not anytime soon.
Perhaps we should focus on a more abstract level. The internet has stormed onto the scene in the last three years, and with it the idea of cyberspace. This major development has opened up new doors to communication and the exchange of information. Major barriers have been destroyed, and the world can communicate on one level. The key to this new form is that it is not really tangible, it is virtual.
