WK10: Assignment - 1000 word essay - due in week 12


I have had some difficulty in deciding on a topic, and wanting to K.I.S.S - I decided not to choose a topic of my own because the 1000 word limit suggests, in conjunction with a brief from Jules, that it is our understanding of a topic once researched that is required and our viewpoint, not a thesis requiring the pursue-al of new answers.

At this stage my choice of topic is:
2. The idea of the internet as cyberspace has been a part of our contemporary culture for some time, particularly in the popular medium of film. But is the concept of cyberspace still relevant to our contemporary society? Discuss with reference to your own experience of contemporary media.

Some initial research from the library databases (mainly Jstor) has produced some interesting journal articles and I have some lecture notes that I can reference for this topic as well. This topic seems very relevant to this course and finally this topic appealed to me because I would like to have an informed opinion about it.
