DIGITAL CULTURE 2
Introduction
Digital culture is the concept that describes the idea that technology and usage is the
internet is shaping the world in another technological dimensions. Stimulation of data and
technological aspects plays an important in this context (Harris and Rea, 2019). Apart from
this, the digital culture major investigates about the internet, new media and digital
technologies. For this report, six topics are selected as follows: datafication, filter bubbles,
Web 2.0, algorithms, monetization and cyberwarfare. In this report, these topics will be
explained through their relevant concepts in an effective and efficient way.
Algorithms
The Internet runs on algorithms and all the tasks of online searches are accomplish
because of algorithms. The concept of algorithms works on iteration and two-pointer
approach. As iterations are known as the fundamental programming idea that includes writing
programs which are based on codes. The concept of algorithms also incorporates the
functions from its five properties such as the input and output should be specific, definiteness,
effectiveness and finiteness. In order to protect the data or website, the maker makes complex
algorithms systems. For example: google algorithms (Saritas & Yasar, 2019).
Apart from this, each type of algorithm is based on its own specific concept. There are
various types of algorithms such as: recursive algorithms, backtracking algorithms, brute
faced algorithms, randomized algorithms, programming algorithms, etc. Moreover, the
concept of the binary tree also helps the algorithms in performing effective and efficient
operations. A binary tree incorporates data structure in which each node enables at-lease two
further branches. In this way, the concept of the binary tree helps the algorithms in the map a
given value with faster access of elements in an effective and efficient way (Scott, et. al.,
2016).
