Virtual spaces, like the spaces around us, define how we interact socially. Shedroff (1999) believes, 'the most important skills for…the next decade and beyond will be those that allow us to create valuable, compelling, and empowering information and experiences for others. To do this, we must learn existing ways of organizing and presenting data and information and develop new ones'.
