2) Virtual spaces of information
Virtual space of information, “virtual lives are created through the exchange of information” JORDAN 1999
Thinking about this statement, this is right about how the way the cyberspace is constructed however this is not really accurate because the cyber space doesn’t have to be based on information, why? Because I learned that the information is only information if the materials are useful for the person in receipt of these data; information on the internet is consistent of huge amount of different data that is miscellaneous data pushed on the internet from all interconnected devices that are submitted by different hardware and people from different places and in different languages.
The Information is the result of processing and organizing the data that makes knowledge to the person and now also for smart devices that listen to instructions from the network.; like mobile phones…this network of information has to be presented and structured in a way that makes a pattern for the receiving person or devices same as the electromagnetic pulses in a dialup network if the computer modem cannot understand the signals it is not useful data connection.
Going back to the virtual space communities, using social software and sharing knowledge and interests…, blogs that starts from a simple post regarding any aspects to forum multi-form complex structure chain this is called the structuration theory.
An example related to myself is online software development community, contributing in such social space provides extraordinary assistance for everyone interested in the same field. Thus makes us a big part of the cyberspace building and forming new online brain.
