New word for a new culture

It's time to speak about e-culture.

First, we have to analyse the word. It is composed of two elements "e" and "culture". The "e" is used to explain that this "culture" is based on internet exchanges. A new word for a new kind of culture.

Indeed, the access to the culture on internet is free. Even if they pay for having an internet connection, they can consult all kind of cultures : media culture, politic, art, history... Contrary to a museum, people don't pay for e-culture.


Moreover, people are not alone on internet. They can exchange with other people. It's the idea of community. In fact, this free culture gathers internautes between us. It means that they can share all aspects of cultures thanks to internet websites like youtube, facebook, msn, e-mail adress...


Finally, with e-culture, people can create a lot of things like blogs, songs, videos. They can speak about nowadays topics. They can give their opinions on different subjects and they can talk about their lives. It's the symbol of creativity, of freedom expression. For example, our blogs in english class represent these ideas of creation and expression.
