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 [[Wikipedia:Internet|internet]], cyberspace now also is used to refer to the global network of computers. So, after sending an [[Wikipedia:Email|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.
