own choosing.

Cyberspace is where the imaginary can become real.

Artist-engineers must create virtual spaces fit for human habitation.

The electronic marketplace - home shopping with Ivana Trump.

The electronic agora has yet to be built.

Information doesn't want to be free - but people do.

Technology is not the issue.
