From the Paper:

"The widespread availability of computers and Internet connections provides unprecedented opportunities to communicate and learn. Via a monitor, modem, and keypad we are able to inhabit a world surprisingly similar to the physical one that became known as cyberspace. Cyberspace is used to describe the whole range of information resources available through computer networks. As people started to meet and to form relationships with others in a cyberspace, the virtual communities emerged. "Virtual communities are the social aggregations that materialize from the network when a group of people engage in discussion long enough and with sufficient human feeling to form webs of interpersonal relationships" (Godwin 31)."
