Digital culture precedes digital media and technology. It begins with an
attitude and a series of ideas and beliefs that are found first outside of
digital technologies. The 19th. century locomotive, Ford's 1910 assembly line
and other technologies were embodiments of the break down of analogue concepts.
A break down in the belief systems that asserted an original and copy in favor
of no original and exact duplication, belief in individual authorship gives way
to the socially constructed text. Time and space cease to be humanity's friends
and become enemies to be conquered starting with the locomotive and moving on
to phones, television, and the internet. Digital doesn't exist as a technology
first, only after people decide that digital technologies will realize their
desires. Now, of course many argue that technology itself has become a
productive force.
