Due to geographic and social differences, places around the world have developed different cultures. But now, despite these differences, people from any places in the world can be part of the same culture called internet culture.
The internet has the ability to have a global reach because anyone with an internet connection can already access any places in the world. And for this ability, the internet culture has the largest number of people sharing it – even larger than the Western culture. But the internet culture is no different from the geographic and social ones that we know. It still has the basic components such as education, business, government, etc. but what made the internet culture different is how it changed the way these components take place. Online education does not require physical presence for learning to take place and books are now e-books. Online businesses and government online sites provide the convenience of doing transactions right at your home or office – no need for frequent, long, or time-consuming travels and long waiting lines. And socializing in the internet culture has taken form through the social networking sites, blogs, and more. Shopping, which is a favorite among women, has been converted to online stores and online payments such as Paypal. One can even buy from a store on another country and have it delivered and shipped right to his doorstep.
And to be part of this internet culture, one only needs an internet connection and online identity. Online identity is obtained through having email and accounts, and which is used for subscription, payment schemes, and basically logging in and out of websites.
