Overview

The technologies that have given rise to Cyberspace (borrowing the term from William Gibson), in conjunction with other political, cultural, and environmental conditions, have opened the possibility of a new dimension of social and, narrowly, economic space. Cyberspace creates a matrix of possibilities, sometimes contradictory, for new social and economic relationships, only a fraction of which have yet been realized. The papers comprising this text explore these possibilities from the unique perspective of senior seminar students who have grown up with these technologies and are free from expectations based on a world that predates the pervasiveness of Cyberspace. From exploring the transformations in business practices to the impact of Cyberspace on the development of Afghanistan, these papers attempt to expand the boundaries of our understanding of the changes that have already taken place because of Cyberspace.
