Abstract

The very humble origins of the Cyberspace, and all the related developments that smoothly conspired and converged towards this concept, making its emergence possible, as the personal computer, TEX and LATEX, the Fax, the internet, the cellphone, and the World Wide Web, are discussed, always from a personal perspective. A separate, comprehensive explanation of the reasons for the appearance and sub-sequent evolution of each of these different phenomena, with explicit assessments and a future prospective of the main subject, is presented.

“Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely” as Lord Acton liked to observe. In the present context, we may also say that PPT corrupts absolutely, in the sense that it doesn't have to be used always, but only when it is really needed (Martín Ramírez, personal communication).
