Fascinating. IMO, within ten years such a class will be as useful as
a class teaching you how to use a telephone. You don't get a degree
in using a telephone. No-one talks of a 'telephome community'.
But Brian's request raises an important question:
Would someone be so kind as to point me at the FAQ defining 'cyberspace'?
And the communities within it? I think we *need* to be specific here,
and I'd like to have something that I can give to people who throw
terms like 'cyberspace', 'electronic community', 'information superhighway'
and the like around with irritatingly gay abandon.(*)
L.
Lynchpin of the Mac screensaver community, if such a thing exists.
(*) Gibson may have brought 'cyberspace' into popular use (I've come across
earlier references to it in 70's conference papers on VR) but he
certainly didn't define it. Al Gore hasn't defined 'superhighway', but
then he's a politician, and they don't do things like that.
