Aehso’s Output

I like it when theses new terms appear out of nowhere.  “Meatspace” is a recent favourite:

Meatspace is synonymous with the physical world and conceived as the opposite of cyberspace or virtual reality….The term may be used in a derogatory manner as a conscious rejection of the connotations of the term “real life” and the implication that interactions in cyberspace are less real or important than physical interactions.

[above from Wikipedia,  read this Wired article on Second Life for some real world context]

It is always only a matter of time before perspectives started getting inverted and new terminology is required.  Remember the arrival of “snail-mail” back in the 90’s? Now it’s part of common speech.  I wonder how long it will take for ‘meatspace’ to enter the general vocabulary?
