My Infosphere

In Michael Vlahos article “Entering the Infosphere” he mentions the fact that the world is going through a big change in a way that deals with migration and revolution. Michael Vlahos declares that the reason for the world’s big change is because the society passes information down to other people where everything that has or had happened can be received. Vlahos simply states that his argument of the definition of Infosphere is “shorthand fustian of all the world’s communication networks, databases, and sources of information into a vast, intertwined and heterogeneous tapestry of electronic interchange “ which simply means that the infosphere can assemble all knowledge and people in one place. Vlahos points out how his definition of infosphere is compared to a personal infosphere by stating that “The infosphere changes through a storage, but not alien, blonding of technology and culture…Technology’s network ecology brings fundamental change to us… Ultimately, we decide we want to be in the Infosphere”. Vlahos also points out another reason how the infosphere is important to a personal life by saying that people have to realize the importance of the infosphere towards life. Michael Vlahos explains that the infosphere has to involve a place when essentially you can make anywhere a place by simply knowing where you are. For Instance, the cyberspace is an actual place because you know where the cyberspace is. Vlahos definition of info sphere is quite similar to my own personal infosphere because everything that I watch, listen, and read are the types of things that I can put into my own infosphere.
