What is the End of Cyberspace? About the end of cyberspaceCyberspace is a "metaphor we live by," born two decades ago at the intersection of computers, networks, ideas, and experience. It has reflected our experiences with information technology, and also shaped the way we think about new technologies and the challenges they present. It had been a vivid and useful metaphor for decades; but in a rapidly-emerging world of mobile, always-on information devices (and eventually cybernetic implants, prosthetics, and swarm intelligence), the rules that define the relationship between information, places, and daily life are going to be rewritten. As the Internet becomes more pervasive-- as it moves off desktops and screen and becomes embedded in things, spaces, and minds-- cyberspace will disappear.

As you may have guessed from the blatant self-affirmation of my domain name I'm Sam Kinsley! I recently completed the MSc in Society and Space at the School of Geographical Sciences in the University of Bristol. I studied as an undergraduate at the University of Plymouth, in BSc (Hons) Digital Art & Technology in 2004.

Mobile Bristol Toolkit Download the non-commercial version here. Contact us for commercial use. The Mobile Bristol Centre was a programme investigating how mobile devices and pervasive information technology can be used to enhance the ways in which residents and visitors experience and interact with their physical environment and with each other in urban and public spaces. Imagine a digital landscape overlaying the physical world. As we walk around this landscape, we can tap into the digital sounds, sights and interactions that are positioned in the landscape and activated by our presence and actions. The digital landscape is formed from a dynamic and overlapping set of mediascapes which are context-sensitive combinations of digital media and interactions created and deployed by various authors. The project has created a toolkit, which provides a digital canvas over the physical landscape onto which digital experiences can be painted and new commercial opportunities can be explored. As people walk through the physical environment, a diverse range of digital media experiences augment the ambiance and bring these spaces alive. The project had three main threads. Each thread informs, drives and enables the others.

The MSc in Society and Space provides a rigorous grounding in key theoretical, philosophical, methodological and substantive debates relevant to the critical study of society-space relationships. It provides training in a range of research methodologies, from both qualitative and quantitative perspectives. It also offers participants the opportunity to develop this generic set of theoretical and methodological understandings in the substantive areas of human geography research at the University of Bristol including the geographies of neoliberalism; knowledge and performativity; and philosophy, policy and practice in spatial modelling.

"We have a profile page in which we ask you a series of questions. We don't ask your age, sex or job because that can lead to discrimination. We encourage you to leave a photo or image that moves you, rather than a photo of yourself," said Stephane Legouffe, a sociologist and one of the co-ordinators of the site. Log on and enter your details, scan your neighbourhood and there you go: someone to hook up with. But it is not all one-on-one. Regular small meetings, called Apero de quartier, give the denizens of the cyber world a chance to gather at a neighbourhood watering hole.
