The cyberspace, to the being relational digital surroundings offers many possibilities of social intercommunication; this thanks, to the virtual process that allows the user to be `here' and `there' of almost immediate form. Nevertheless, all do not have accessibility to the digital technologies, generating therefore a new notion: digital segregation. The space-temporary regime of the cyberspace —different from the physical world— it invites to think about digital surroundings without hierarchies and centralism when in fact there is a fight from different fronts of power.
