What is the future of digital cultures?

I think that the future of digital cultures in incredibly interesting as our world is being driven by technology and as we find ways to make things better. Although it is a positive to have technological improvements, the negative side to that will be the controversy. With new technology in the last 20-30 years there has always been problems such as social-networking sites have issues concerning privacy and safety and users don’t feel safe using it, as they are not sure whether or not their information is protected.

I think that teaching is an area that will be most affected by the change in digital culture as we are now able to learn/teach without being in a magic circle and we are now able to see the information over the Internet. This can lead us to believe that the future of teaching is one that is not physical but one that will make it easier for both teachers and students and they will not have to commute to one place in order to have a lesson. Other ways in which I believe that technology will change teaching is that work/assignments now are being done over the Internet. As time passes and improvements are make to the reliability of the internet, we will no longer have to do coursework/assignments on paper which is good news for our economical position as we are in a time in where we should be recycling.

As a whole I think that the future for digital cultures in a bright despite it being a controversial one. Some areas will get more benefits of technology advancements than others, especially online companies as we are in a time in where more and more people are having access to the Internet.
