			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I like it when theses new terms appear out of nowhere.&nbsp; &#8220;Meatspace&#8221; is a recent favourite:</p>
<blockquote><p>Meatspace is synonymous with the physical world and conceived as the opposite of cyberspace or virtual reality&#8230;.The term may be used in a derogatory manner as a conscious rejection of the connotations of the term &#8220;real life&#8221; and the implication that interactions in cyberspace are less real or important than physical interactions.</p></blockquote>
<p>[above from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meatspace">Wikipedia</a>,&nbsp; read this <a href="http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,70153-0.html?tw=wn_index_20">Wired article on Second Life</a> for some real world context]</p>
<p>It is always only a matter of time before perspectives started getting inverted and new terminology is required.&nbsp; Remember the arrival of &#8220;snail-mail&#8221; back in the 90&#8217;s? Now it&#8217;s part of common speech.&nbsp; I wonder how long it will take for &#8216;meatspace&#8217; to enter the general vocabulary?</p>
