From mainframe through personal computer to Internet the electronic computer has transformed information and human communication in unanticipated ways that are giving birth to what has been variously termed cyberspace, virtual reality, or hyper-reality. To live in this new milieu, which transforms not just calculations and communications but the sense of body, self, and culture, it is not clear that ethics in any traditional sense (as that which emerges from place specific ethos) is possible.
Technology proper is in the process of being supplanted by a post-technology, a hyper-technology, or what (following Ernesto Mayz Vallenilla) I prefer to call a meta-technology. We must think meta-technology as something we are part of.
