Cyber Culture

I would say I have been part of cybercultures ever since the introduction of the world wide web when they were formed. I can remember when i was first able to start using the computer; it was about seven or eight years ago. I have been sending emails and browsing the web since. Being part of a cyberculture is now part of my everyday activities. What does this mean?
Everyday I interact with people online. I've never met any of the people I talk to on the forum I belong to, but still I feel like we know each other. Cybercultures tend to do that. There are cybercultures for just about anythinbg that your interested in. They bring together people with a common interest and allow people to talk and discuss what they like. Cybercultures have had a positive influence on me in the sense that they exposes me to the many things out in the world; some of which I like and some of the others that I don't. Cybercultures allow you to see and hear the views of other people from around the world with just the click of a mouse. It's really amazing how the internet and cybercultures can broaden your horizon. I don't feel like I need to belong to anything, but to some people they say that being part of cybercultures gives them a sense of belonging which is a good thing. If a cyberculture can make someone happy, more power to it!

Popular Culture

Our life is shaped everyday by what is around us. From tv commercials to our friends, and to the random people we run into daily; everything has an influence on how and what we do. We are part of a popular culture. What makes me part of this culture? I wear the clothes I wear because they are trendy, or at least that's what our culture says. Our popular culture guides me and i bet many others to wear what we wear. But who is popular culture to guide us what to do. It's nobody, and thats my point. Our society is based like that; we all follow what "everyones" doing. It really irritates me that our generation is so shallow. I am comfortable saying that I believe most people care more about how they are viewed than how they actually feel. It's really sad that this is how our generation is being brought up. What ever happened to worrying about ones' family and the important things in life. It seems that with our modern age popular culture of now that people are more conceded could care less about the more intellectual things in our lives. This is just my opinion; I am not one to follow the trends and what everyone else is doing. I feel strongly about this topic and the stand i took.
