Digital culture and my observation

The term “Culture” means the custom, behaviour, beliefs, values, experience, attitudes, and meanings that are developed by the society and transmitted from generation to generation through learning. For the definition of “Digital Culture” we have to go little bit further.

The digital culture describes the relationship between human and technology. Nowadays we are almost dependent on digital technology. We are surrounded by the technology wherever we are in schools, work places, markets etc. People are adapting to it very rapidly and transmitting it to others. It is like think digital, be digital.

I am chatting and conferencing through the messenger on the Internet with friends and family who are living in different places of the world. Some one started it once but now we adapt it and making it popular day by day and already has been developed it as a digital culture. Not only in chatting we find the digital culture, but also we find digital culture in computer, on TV, on the news and even in iPod.

Second Life is a 3D virtual game that has been built by its users. Second life is a digital formed world with the participation of real life people. My experience in second life is quite frustrated and boring because Second Life does not represent our first life properly. The cultural aspect in second life is something individual than combine.

To conclude, I would say there is no doubt that digital culture could be found in the most mass media nowadays and I hope that one day we will be drifting in the digital world physically.
