Cyberspace, as it widely known in the tech circle was coined by William Gibson in 1982. It is generally referred explain the non-physical terrain created by computer systems. Online systems, for example, create a cyberspace within which people can communicate with one another to do research, or simply window shop. Like physical space, cyberspace contains html pages, videos and graphics etc, and different modes of transportation and delivery.
Unlike real space, though, exploring cyberspace does not require any physical movement other than pressing keys on a keyboard or moving a mouse. Some programs, particularly computer games, are designed to create a special cyberspace, one that resembles physical reality in some ways but defies it in others. In its extreme form, called virtual reality, users are presented with visual, auditory, and even tactile feedback that makes cyberspace feel real.
