Actually, wrong.

But we've learned to relate to it as such. It's fair to say that we've been encouraged to do so by those same companies who continue to profit from the fact that we see them as boarders like us rather than as our landlords. It would seem as though almost twenty years after the "Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace" those who identified with that statement back then are embarrassed by the obvious hyperbole and even naiveté. On the other hand, however, there are many who don't even know that anyone once wrote:

Cyberspace consists of transactions, relationships, and thought itself, arrayed like a standing wave in the web of our communications. Ours is a world that is both everywhere and nowhere, but it is not where bodies live.
We are creating a world that all may enter without privilege or prejudice accorded by race, economic power, military force, or station of birth.
We are creating a world where anyone, anywhere may express his or her beliefs, no matter how singular, without fear of being coerced into silence or conformity.
