When we were asked to think about what the concept of digital cultures means to us, the first word that came to mind was union. Our culture has certainly expanded due to digital technology: we have become interconnected with other cultures. In our time, where information is spread so quickly, we have access to so much more than any other generation before our own. That is why knowing about other cultures and having access to digital technology is now an important part of our lives.
The computer is now one of our best friends: we use it for work, entertainment, socialization and a lot more. It would be hard to imagine our lives without the comfort and all the options that offered by the Internet. Due to digital technology, it is possible to meet friends in a digital world and go to a pub, to the cinema, chat about daily activities, play games together, all that even if you are on the other side of the planet. Now we have access to information from anywhere in any language in real time. That is not all: we can watch movies from any country that are available on P2P programs and even shop online (that I really like!).
In this time of technological change, it is essential that we understand how other cultures function and to know more about them. The culture of each country is now available online to a global audience, which is a good indication that the revolution of digital technology promotes and, why not, changes culture.
