What is Digital Culture?!?!?

So I've never heard of digital culture before but I decided to choose this module to learn something new. I wasn't 100% sure what the term actually meant, but then again I think it's quite obvious! Digital = Cybernated, Culture = Society..soooo....Digital + Culture = Cybernated Society!


I found this video on YouTube that really helped me to understand the meaning of digital culture. Here it is:

Chris Pirillo refers to digital culture as "pervasive technology" which i totally agree with. Technology is everywhere nowadays and we can't seem to get away from it. There are smartphones and social networking sites, which I both use EVERYDAY of my life and to be quite honest, I don't know what I would do without them. I've become so addicted to using this technology that I actually can not remember life before all of this came around because like I said before; technology is EVERYWHERE!

Does that make me a digital native?....I think so!

"A digital native is a person, mainly a young person, who was born during or after the general introduction of digital technology, and through interacting with digital technology from an early age, has a greater understanding of its concepts. A digital native may also be identified as a person who understands the value of digital technology and uses this to seek out opportunities for implementing it." Wikipedia
