In todays lecture it was noted that theres is a marked difference between the internet and the web, the web being merely a part and a function of the internet. The terms "cyber" and "cyberspace" were discussed and we considered the "reality" or indeed "non-reality" of the internet and how it can create illusions within peoples lives in terms of there social lives particularly. In 1972 Karl Hopper believed that there were three "worlds" that we lived in 1. the physical/material world. 2) the subjective consciencious eg feelings. and 3. The public structures that allow people to communicate with each other eg. the internet.
