The Role of Cyberspace in Interfaith Dialogue 189
/
Mediums such as conferences, debates,
symposia,workshops etcetera, are being used to bring
people together to dialogue and understand

themselves. In recent times, however, the cyberspace
is being used as another effective tool for dialogue.
The internet which had connected the world into a
global village, had made it possible to introduce
another phase for bringing people together And even
though it is a very effective tool with many
advantages, its disadvantages cannot be
underestimated as well.

Advantages of the Cyberspace Dialogue
Unlike the other forms of face to face physical
dialogue, the cyberspace saves time and energy.
Conferences held on the internet are much time saving
compared to other means.
Previously, people will have to travel from one
place to another and spend much time to meet others
for dialogue. The cyberspace on its part can bring
people together with just a click on one button on the
keyboard.
For example, a simple connection with a Skype
brings various people from around the world to a large
conference where each and everyone virtually
connects and sees others. This eventually saves time
and energy.
