cyberworld

Online existence space

Cyberworld refers to the digital realm of computer networks, particularly the internet and virtual environments where people interact, work, and socialize.

It encompasses everything from social media platforms to online gaming universes to virtual reality spaces.

The term carries a slightly dated, 1990s flavor—contemporary usage more often favors online, digital world, or simply the internet.
