Public hypersphere
Public hypersphere is a new kind of public sphere that has come into existence globally through the use of modern information technology, digital media, and computer networks. Swedish writer Karl-Erik Tallmo used the corresponding Swedish term hyperoffentlighet in an article in the daily Sydsvenska Dagbladet in 1999 and the same year also the English expression public hypersphere in an article in the journal Human IT. The term is derived from Jürgen Habermas and his thoughts concerning a bourgeois public sphere.
