My First steps in Cyberspace

In the 10 descriptions that Michael (not Dirk from BG) Benedikt my first "Oh Yeah" was the 7th one on page 21:

Cyberspace: Beneath their plaster shells on the city streets, behind their potted plants and easy smiles, organizations are seen as the organisms they are -- or as they would have us believe them be: money flowing in rivers and capillaries; obligations, contract, accumulating (and the shadow of the IRS passes over). On the surface, small meetings are held in rooms, but they proceed in virtual rooms, larger, face to electronic face. On the surface, the building knows where you are. And who.

Cyberspace to me is just that...people in coffee shops behind that potted plant or just like in the movies....Blade Runner with Harrison Ford, where you needed a computer for everything and how the information age was starting to turn to cyborg's from entertainment purposes to war machines....isn't that where we are heading today in this time of our computer technology....we use nano technology in computers and machines for operating on humans and sending information across space...
I remember when I was in my teens and seeing the advertising on the television about the 'Super Computers' and feeling how I wanted to be a part of that! How NASA used these computers to get men to the moon....I wanted more....to go further....and beyond that big round thing that never changed the color except on special summer evenings and when storms were coming... Later, I learned everything I could about how to learn about computers....and what they could do...but tragically....Trend College would try to take that away from me... and after paying back the government loan a little over 10 years later...(that I had no Idea that they borrowed). Here I am living in my dream...who else has that for a memory..? I went on to continue my dream of becoming a college graduate.... Now at WSU as a Digital Technology and Culture student, I am learning to blog like the rest in cyberspace under trees or in small offices across our globe..."On the surface, [in the buildings]" we know who we are..... and we're loving it!
