The recent historical emergence of cyberspace, its technical mode of being and its accelerated expansion and social consolidation bring significant implications for the Theory of Communication. More than the old-age spirit of the technological society of the end of the century, marked by an excess of communication never seen and by the crisis of knowledge in general - of which epiphenomenon is disbelief in relation to meta-narratives (religious, philosophical or political) and their Teleologies, as well as in relation to the fable of technological progress and its promises of emancipation of humanity - is the cyberspace that, in the wake of computer technologies, imposes to this theory an ultimatum, inviting it to make a hard proof of the real.
