6. Identify a form of digital culture (e.g. leet speak, memes,
Youtube unboxing videos, glitch art, cyberbullying) that also has a
distinct local or regional characteristic. Trace its history and using a
notable artefact(s), explain how this digital culture may be of
significance to designers.
I chose this question because I am quite interested in the selfie culture that is so popular nowadays. The advancement of smartphone enables many people from all over the world to take selfies so there must be some distinct local or regional characteristics that I can compare. The most important (and challenging) part in this topic is to relate how this selfie culture may be significant to designers, or in other words, whether designers
should be sensitive about selfie culture.
I shall break down my research into domains as below:
1) What is selfie?
2) The history of selfie.
3) What are the characteristics of selfie among different countries/ culture/ generation?
4) Why should designers be sensitive about selfie culture?
