Sažetak
In the debate about the spread of new technologies of online communication, we often find extreme points of view about the effect they have on people: the “techno-pessimists” prophesy an obscure era in which the surfers, reduced to a total physical immobility, will end up by “disconnecting” themselves from the world; on the other hand, the “techno-optimists” theorize that an on-line life could become almost self-efficient, taking away the weight of reality from people. We still tend to think of the cyberspace dynamics from a “cybernetic” point of view, by concentrating more on the tools than on the true dynamics of interaction that bring new forms of “cybersociality”. It is a co-evolution between real and virtual, physical space and cyberspace, that could be interpreted like a “middle path”. At the root of these new collective realities there is always the human element and shared social passions.
