ABSTRACT

The Internet is the network created by the interconnection of computers and computer networks worldwide. It is not a tangible or physical entity, but remains an amorphous and giant network which links together numerous smaller groupings of computer networks which are linked together.1 Within this intangible spacial concept lies the entirety of the computer spectrum, commonly called ‘cyberspace’. Cyberspace can be described as a global medium of communication which links people, corporations, institutions and governments throughout the world.2
