Digital Folklore

"While more and more people had personal computers and net access, fewer and fewer were seeing the value of their contributions. As most had agreed to have 'no idea about computers,' it became virtually impossible for them to reflect on the medium itself. At the same time however these lusers used computers very intensively, producing and uploading content non-stop.

And here we reach the point where we would like to highlight artifacts of Digital Folklore, a distinct user culture developed inside user-oriented applications and services despite their low social status and technical limitations. And their cumulative output began to dominate that of hacker culture."
