Cyberspace is the virtual, non-physical environment created by the interdependent network of computer systems, telecommunications networks, and digital data. First popularized by author William Gibson in 1984, the term is a fusion of "cybernetics" (the science of control and communication) and "space". While often used interchangeably with "the Internet," cyberspace is a broader concept that includes the Internet, private networks, computer systems, and the digital interactions that take place within them.

Key components of cyberspace

Networks: The infrastructure that connects computers, servers, and other devices to allow for data transmission, including the Internet, telecommunications networks, and wireless connections.

Hardware: The physical devices that make up the digital infrastructure, such as computers, servers, and routers.

Software: The applications, operating systems, and platforms that run on the hardware to enable communication and data processing.

Data: The information that is stored, transmitted, and processed within cyberspace, ranging from personal information to government databases.

Users: The human beings and organizations that interact within cyberspace for various purposes, including communication, entertainment, and commerce.
