Qualities of cyberculture:-First and foremost, cyberculture derives from traditional notions of culture, as the roots of the word imply. In non-cyberculture, it would be odd to speak of a single, monolithic culture. In cyberculture, by extension, searching for a single thing that is cyberculture would likely be problematic. The notion that there is a single, definable cyberculture is likely the complete dominance of early cyber territory by affluent North Americans. Writing by early proponents of cyberspace tends to reflect this assumption.

- Is a community mediated by ICTs.
- Relies heavily on the notion of information and knowledge exchange.
- Is a “cognitive and social culture, not a geographic one.
- Is “the product of like-minded people finding a common ‘place’ to interact." etc....
