In Hypertextual Consciousness, Mark Amerika copies a phrase from Gertrude Stein and pastes it aptly on cyberspace: "There is no there there" [1]. Mark Nunes echoes this sentiment, of the way in which people use language to transform a concept into a place. He refers to using telephone lines to make a phone call, how people don't consider it a place, they don't speak of themselves going somewhere when they pick up a phone. And yet "when the computer couples with these same telephone lines, suddenly spatial and kinetic metaphors begin to proliferate" [2].
