From class attendance and lecture notes, I realise that the module 'media and Cyberculture' is a course that examines the interaction between the cultural practices of a society and a whole wide range of technology and digital devices such e.g computers, mobile phones, cameras, websites, e.t.c. In other words, it discusses the social and cultural effects (among others) of the use of technologies in the lives of a society.
For this basic reason (according to lecture notes), scholars from different disciplines such as ethnographers, sociologists, literary critics, to mention but a few, have carried out a number of theory based research to study the cultural practices surrounding the use of computers and other technologies.
Notable among some these research is that of the On-Line issue. Class discussion reveals the fact that internet, though very wealthy in information has its own flaws with respect to the reliability and validity ot the source, citation, depth of analysis and the inconsistencies of locations of websites. To all these I concur.
