week5&6 Involving me to the cyber world.

To be honest, before I learn this moulde, I have little knowledge of cyberculture, so, I feel difficult to follow. However, after reading again and again the lecture notes, asking some friends and also reading some articals about cyberculture, I have some understanding and opinion to present here.

A close friend of mine who was really good at computing told me his comprehension about cyberculture. His said that, cyberculture is a cultural circumstance that can allow people walk out the practical life, hereby, a platform of communication in the cyberspace is appeared. It is true that in the cybercultural world, people could discard some pressure and displeasure from the real life, which may cauese of studying, working and living problems. In the fictitious computing world, people could feel more safe to expose the real side of their emotion without any personal factors. For example, a man may unsuccessful about his career in the real life, but in the cyberspace, he could pretend as a famous business man; or he also could share his feeling with someone who has the same experience in the real life; thus, more and more people feel comfortable and confident in cybercultural world rather than in real life. In other words, it is not overladen to consider that cyberculture is another lifestyle for people out of true-life world.

Cybersapce, in my standpoint, it is a insubstantial vacuum. We could allodially produce everthing we like. We could do everthing we want following personal frefernce. In other words, every single man can be GOD in the cybersapace just if he want to be, because ererthing decide by oneself. For example, in the MATRIX world, all the thing needed could be produce by PROGRAM, in this space, you are the master. In addition, for the Computer Game called SIMS LIFE, you could play a role in the game whose characteristics is totally different from your true life.


And then, about ALIFE, artifical life, in my opinion, that is a inevitable step in the whole of social communicationalism. But, if over depend upon artifical life, the end is be controled by ALIFE. However, if human could decide by entitative consciousness that what should be done by us, and what should be produced by computers, or in other words, to consider computers are the productive instruments but not the productivity, we should predominate the computers to serve our real life.
