What is History of Cyberspace

Is linked to the development of computers and the Internet. After Gibson's coinage of the term, it quickly gained popularity. It was used to describe the interconnected global network of computers and the information and communication that flowed through them. The term cyberspace was also used to describe the virtual world of online communities, where people could interact and form relationships without ever physically meeting. However, before computers existed, many philosophers raised the idea of an alternative reality. In his “Allegory of the Cave,” the Greek philosopher Plato mentions that people live in an alternate reality and can only access the true reality through mental training and education. Rene Descartes, a French philosopher, argued that a demon showed people a false reality and that people can see the true reality by thinking.
