Unlike most computer terms, "cyberspace" doesn't have a standard, objective definition. Instead, it is used metaphorically to describe the virtual world of computers. For example, an object in cyberspace is just a block of data floating around on some computer system or network. With the advent of the Internet, cyberspace now also is used to refer to the global network of computers. So, after sending an e-mail to a friend, you could say you sent the message to him or her through cyberspace. However, use this term sparingly, as it is a popular newbie term and is already well overused.
