An internet culture, is just like any other culture, but one that is acting online rather than through the physical domain. Culture is a tricky term to define. I see it as a way of life. It combines history, language, communication, individual and societal wants all together and they determine how people act the way they do. Counties, cities, sports teams, religious groups, colleges and more groupings of people each have their own unique culture, which is how they interact with each other, ad those outside that culture. Culture is hard to define because it is very general, and looking from individual standpoints can contrast overall culture. The internet as a whole can be seen as one world, or an extension of our already existing world. Either way, it is so vast that it contains many types of people, and this many types of cultures. From shopping to dating to gaming, each one of these categories has its own rules and behavioral patterns that users act based on. Call of Duty, being the highest selling game for the past years has become so large and gained many users and a growing community.
