Cyberspace is an interconnected digital environment. It is a type of virtual world popularized with the rise of the Internet. The term entered popular culture from science fiction and the arts but is now used by technology strategists, security professionals, governments, military and industry leaders and entrepreneurs to describe the domain of the global technology environment, commonly defined as standing for the global network of interdependent information technology infrastructures, telecommunications networks and computer processing systems. Others consider cyberspace to be just a notional environment in which communication over computer networks occurs. The word became popular in the 1990s when the use of the Internet, networking, and digital communication were all growing dramatically; the term cyberspace was able to represent the many new ideas and phenomena that were emerging. As a social experience, individuals can interact, exchange ideas, share information, provide social support, conduct business, direct actions, create artistic media, play games, engage in political discussion, and so on, using this global network. Cyberspace users are sometimes referred to as cybernauts.

सायबरस्पेस (Cyberspace) संगणक नेटवर्क द्वारा जुड़कर आपसी सम्पर्क से बनने वाले वातावरण को कहते हैं। यह शब्द १९९० के दशक में लोकप्रिय हुआ जब इंटरनेट तेज़ी से बढ़ रहा था और उस से उत्पन्न होने वाली परिस्थितियों और सामाजिक व मानसिक परिघटनाओं के लिए एक संक्षिप्त शब्द की आवश्यकता हुई। कई समीक्षकों का मानना है कि उभरती हुई कृत्रिम वास्तविकता से सम्बन्धित प्रौद्योगिकियाँ सायबरवातावरण में एक बड़ा बढ़ावा करेंगी।
