Beginning of "cyberspace"
Science fiction author William Gibson was the first person to use the term "cyberspace," which he described his book Neuromancer.
"Cyberspace. A consensual hallucination experienced daily by billions of legitimate operators, in every nation, by children being taught mathematical concepts... A graphic representation of data abstracted from banks of every computer in the human system. Unthinkable complexity. Lines of light ranged in the nonspace of the mind, clusters and constellations of data." (69)
Obviously, this is not what cyberspace has become, although some scholars believed that the next step in cyberspace was a form of virtual reality, as you'll see later in this photostream.
