I love all the websites! Flashy and totally original. Anyways, its interesting to see lot of people were referring to Internet as "cyber space", which was prevalent during those days. Surprisingly, nobody refers to Internet as cyberspace now a days.

Except they do. At the moment, search results on Twitter are largely polluted with the article in question, but you can still see plenty of everyday folk using the term. News outlets still use it all the time, and it's something a regular news.yc reader should see quite often: http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aycombinator.com+cybers...

Sure, the word 'cyberspace' is used everywhere these days, but I don't think it carries the same meaning it did back then. Virtual reality was "becoming" a thing of the present in 1995, and whenever the word cyberspace was used, it seemed to mean "sure, you're stuck in 2d now, but just wait a few more years and you'll be totally immersed in a 3d cyberspace." I guess I'm a little nostalgic about the old "cyberspace" :)

I remember being in junior high school and first hearing about "the information superhighway" and I was both confused and intrigued. I think it was a few years before I connected "information superhighway" and "internet" as being the same thing.
