The information society associated with the massification of new technologies is provoking a social change that is considered revolutionary by numerous scholars and researchers from different disciplines of the Social Sciences. Such a revolution would already be affecting all aspects of human activity, from politics to economy through to culture, social relationships, leisure time, or education. Geography, as a social science, is not left out of this new situation. Rather it is deeply influenced by the so-called Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), not only in its methodology and work techniques but also in relation to the new epistemological and sociological questions that the new information society entails. From this last point of view mainly Social Geography faces the new challenge that now is happening at least in part in a new place, the cyberspace or virtual space.
