Spatial
When we think of the city, we think of a complex and extended architecture, an architecture that reflects city's social complexity and multiple functions. The spatial dimension of the electronic technology is obviously present in the term "cyberspace." Likewise the Greek root "tele" is a spatial term: it generally means "from afar" or "far off" in space.
Electronic communication is supposed to annihilate distance. Yet terms like "cyberspace" and "Telepolis" indicate that electronic technologies simply refashion space and reintroduce it into our discourse. These technologies actually encourage us to imagine spatial relationships among information elements and between receivers and senders of information, they indicate that electronic technologies simply refashion space and reintroduce it into our discourse. Indeed, spatial metaphors for hypermedia design has become a research topic in computer science.
