The Internet comes as part of digital culture’s development, as an answer to its qualms and desires — the craving for communication, information, and knowledge, the need of tools to create and express. In less than two decades of public existence, its use spread to hundreds of millions of users in the world, who quickly became familiarized with the technology and started using it for every kind of activity. Since its global adoption, the Internet has drastically changed our daily lives, affecting our traditional concepts of culture. New technologies, each day more accessible, have simplified tasks known in the past to be complex, disturbing how we deal with information, how it’s published, transmitted, researched, and accessed. Internet culture also has become the new counter-culture, rising against the mainstream and the norm’s constraints. And with the arrival of a new counter-culture, there’s bound to be distrust and the fear that the end might be near. “Is Internet killing our culture?”
