In our day and age we can do nearly everything online without having to leave the confines of our own comfortable space; in fact, physical places that we once had to go to shop, become educated, socialize, watch entertainment, ect , have started being replaced by “cyberspace”.

“The Death of the Cyberflaneur”, though one of the shortest readings from last week, left me wanting to participate in the strange activity that, according to the article, has been dying off not only physically but digitally.
