摘要

Discussions of the modern era as an “information-based society” mayseem outdated, since the world is already flooded with information, withthe rapid growth of the information-technology industry at the core ofsuch development. The expansion of cyberspace has been part of modernlife for quite some time. All kinds of communicative media, includingvoice, visual, and text media, have been digitalized, and various massmedia have been integrated with one another. The integration and exchange between various media have changed the pattern of daily life.Today, cyberspace is no longer a world of virtual reality separated fromthe real world, but rather makes up a substantial portion of the realworld that may not be felt or touched by our senses.
