Abstract

The 4th Space concept is a very challenging and puzzling one. The tremendous technological progress of Information and Communication Technologies or Computer-Mediated Communication, ubiquitous computing, and Extended Reality make the Gibsonian Cyberspace Matrix an imminent reality in the future. Although, some features can be made more salient, the structure, but most importantly, the effects of living in such environment for human consciousness and morality is almost impossible to predict. Hence, the requisite of a proactionary and comprehensive scientific and technical paradigm for designing the 4th Space, in order to facilitate the adaptation of human species to the brave new technological world, while preserving the humanness and humanism of the humans.
