O acesso instantâneo a lugares à volta do globo é dado pelo espaço virtual da memória do computador e das redes. O termo espaço cibernético foi inventado pelo escritor de ficção científica William Gibson para descrever o espaço virtual sem dimensões dos media electrónicos. Uma vez que a Internet tem sido definida como uma rede global de computadores interligados, a informação é transmitida de trás para a frente. Quando os navegadores usam a Internet, eles estão constantemente em linha. As mensagens são enviadas a indivíduos ou grupos de pessoas via correio electrónico.

Messages are sent to individuals or groups of people via email.
