In a digital society, multimedia content is accessed shared, utilized, and created by millions of individuals. Behaviors have been shaped and changed by digital culture. Influences how we act and think (dependant on the internet). Digital technologies are a key feature of contemporary daily life and they profoundly shape how we live and how we understand ourselves and our culture. Many aspects of everyday life, work (the 24/7 office we can always be working if we want to), politics, and culture have become mediated by information and communications technology. Use of these technologies effectively becomes a requirement of life. In 2011 a united nations report declared that access to the internet is a human right. The ruling stated that disconnecting people from the internet is a human rights violation and against international law.
