The three major areas of services available in cyberspace are:
First, the private email conversations similar to the talks you have on the telephone or voice mail.
Second, information and entertainment services. Here people can download anything. These places are like book stores, malls, and movie-houses.
Third, there are ‘real communities’- groups of people who communicate among themselves. They are like shops or restaurants or playgrounds. Each participant contributes to a general conversation, generally through posted messages. Other participants may simply listen or watch.
