cyberelite

plural cyberelites

1. An elite in the world of computers or in cyberspace.

   We are often reminded that while members of a largely Western, male, and affluent cyberelite "amuse themselves in cyberspace, half the human race has never made a telephone call" (Tele-Haves and Have-Nots 1996).
