Document Summary
Digital culture is made up of communication and information exchange modes that displace, redefine, and reshape knowledge into new forms, formats, and the methods for acquiring and transmitting such knowledge. Digital literacy has given rise to an initial reaction to its necessity or need and to what has been termed the digital divide , echoing the differences between those who can read and those who cannot. The divide between the rapid technological growth and the associated cultural norms they produce and the legal framework meant to govern and regulate them. Legislative bodies are formulating laws and policies that are based on either uniformed or outdated key concepts that are being radically redefined by the practical uses of today"s technologies. Digital culture is an environment: it functions within a set of associated tools, modes of access, and the transferability between them.
