This lecture explores the impact of changes in spatial relationships due to the evolution of the internet on various aspects of society, such as economy, law, politics, and culture. It delves into the transformation of information access, production conditions, and the reevaluation of social environments. The lecture also discusses the implications of the confusion between real and virtual spaces, emphasizing the immateriality of internet interactions and the emergence of new real spaces like Wikipedia, Facebook, and YouTube. It concludes by highlighting the need to understand the interplay between virtual and physical spaces, as internet does not eliminate distance but rather creates new relationships and spaces to address specific needs.
