Whether it’s intentional or unintentional, digital culture plays a part in all our lives.
Cultures are within societies and societies are what bring us together. We all
share some sort of interest when it comes to digital culture as in this day and
age we are surrounded by it. Technology hits us left, right and centre. From
the internet to mobile phones, laptops to iPads, it is embedded into our
systems as an easy way out. This is because it is less time consuming and also
a form of communication. ‘Cultures’ deriving from the ideas of a society
consists of High Culture and Popular Culture. Culture as a general was
described by Matthew Arnold (1822-88) as ‘the best that has been thought and
known’. He also believed that high culture was seen as ‘the best’ as it
consisted of the works of Shakespeare and Milton. After the industrial
revolution, society changed. As centuries passed, things became digital. This was
more popular than what consisted of High Culture making it Popular culture. Raymond
Williams (1921-1988) a Welsh writer said that ‘culture was ordinary’ and ‘one of the two or
three most complicated words in the English Language’ suggesting there is no
one definition for it as it forever changes. Cultural products and practices modernized
introducing new music and television and computers.
