For the first time, we live in our virtual paradise carrying on mundane activities 24 hours a day. We collected fish, fossils, paintings, stamps, and coins. Today, TikTok, Instagram. YouTube, Gaming technologies, and interactive media provide entertainment and knowledge. Charles Darwin’s Theory of Evolution. Every aspect of this planet changes by the environment they live in. Dinosaurs from a million years ago transformed into the birds we see today. Our brains are constantly interacting with machine technology. A million people go to Mars to live, Elon Musk’s futuristic design model for humans and humanoids. Our species, humans and humanoids, interactions, and AI affect every aspect of our life. Communication has moved on digital platforms. Face to Face interactions is fewer. Online Education, online digital appointments with GPs, and interactions with the tax office, councils, and transport providers have moved digitally. Since post COVID19 hastened the World’s transformation.
Life is hard, but the need to escape in digital life may have the answers. Life does not have to slow down; there are tips on beating boredom and relaxation of the mind.
Tasks to do and enjoy life with technological advancement. Some new ideas and innovative mindsets than spending time on Netflix, Friday night quizzes, banana bread, and whipped coffee As we all endure staying home during the lockdown and trying to make the most of a slow pace and a more straightforward way of life. The Digital News is an online magazine delivering news and content material to millions of people around the World. The brand is cross networked on social media platforms Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube. My goal is to provide valuable information to my readers about how machines have become integral to our everyday lives. April 7, 2020
Digital Culture: The 21st century is data-driven because of our society’s technological and sociocultural advancements. This blog will explore whether the sociocultural and economic improvements are being driven by technology or the other way around? This question brings up another issue: Is it necessary, in a data-driven society, to know how things work? If you are a novice like me, integrating knowledge about codes, data, and procedural thinking into our daily lives may be intriguing and daunting. Previously, technology would have been a barrier for specific audiences, but digital culture is pervasive, and we are all part of it. In any case, the general interest in technology has become much greater: hence this blog will target a wider audience. It will attempt to explore contemporary theories related to digital cultures. It can open our imaginations if we become aware of the self-interacting with virtual and physical artifacts in our environment. This, added to the passion for technology, can lead to forward thinking and innovation. The broader impact of digital cultures on an interconnected

The broader impact of digital cultures on an interconnected global society is through international film festivals, media reporting, architecture and design, digital maps, and GPS locations.
I present an interview with students studying for a Masters at Birkbeck College in April 2015. This short video is about why digital culture study is relevant. The module was taught by Dr. Joel Mckim.
EXHIBIT 1
Synopsis :
During my postgraduate studies, I wrote about Digital exhibitions, 3D Art, Animation, software technological art rendering artwork, and design to enhance the audience experience.
The OBJECTIVE of the section on digital Art exhibitions is to explain the following:
- The different types of digital collections from a historical perspective.
- How audiences engage with digital art and explore the ways we encode information daily through digital media
- To highlight technology-based artwork in art galleries.
This section offers the user an intellectually interactive perspective.
It will share the experience and aesthetics of digital art and different galleries.
Digital exhibitions make us think about relationships in art and design, particularly the connections between analog and digital art.
Digital engagement with the aesthetics of art forums is rising and developing a new relationship between art and science. Last year at the Barbican’s Digital Revolution Exhibition, artists, filmmakers, musicians, architects, designers, and videogame developers participated in a sell-out event.
The vision of the exhibition organizers is to create a culturally diverse platform by understanding computational media as core to contemporary culture.
These exhibitions allow us to question identity in the physical World. The exhibits are fascinating, and visitors to such exhibitions spend 3 to 4 hours enjoying them. Open the link to view the blog content on Digital Exhibitions.
Chapter 2: Digital Time
Time-space convergence: The World is shrinking relatively, but the shrinkage is not uniform. This phenomenon is happening because technological innovation and transportation growth are uneven. In developing countries, investments in transportation and infrastructure are higher in the cities than in the rural areas. The geographical concentration of capital in urban locations is more significant because of rising demand. Different from (Dicken, 2011, pp. 86-87), small towns and rural areas are not benefitting from such projects because financial returns are low. However, developments in parallel communication technologies, such as transportation and telecommunications, are pushing space-time to zero. An example of new technologies is mobile phones. Depending upon the location and time, a phone call at an inconsiderate hour can disturb someone’s sleep. The explosion of mobile phone ownership and a shift from fixed to mobile cellular telephony has led to explosive innovation in mobile phone technology. Communication on the move is transforming society’s culture digitally. Mobile phones have integrated multi-functions, which can perform any action instantly.
Furthermore, moving towards a wireless world is generating substantial social and economic changes in the environment. Digitizing documents, photographs, television, newspaper, diary, and almost anything can be accessed anywhere for free. The critical problem is that US, Germany, and UK are the forerunners. Yet, there is a digital divide, and it is creating a world of communication that is uneven. Recent research suggests that space and time matter is plastic. Some parts of the globe are shrinking because of advancements in all spheres. In contrast, some benefit relatively, and the rural regions benefit in one or the other areas of development. To think that the Internet is timeless, space-less, and the place-less phenomenon is not true depending upon geographical location and the capacity of the Internet between the regions of the World (Dicken, 2011, pp. 92-93)
This chapter looks at how time is moving in space, gender development, and the history of time. It will take a moment to adjust to the expansion of the inner space of the SOLARIUM and takes the reader far away from the present time. The reading requires a rapid alteration between play and imagination or is sometimes left flickering between the two. The spatial approach of the writing style in this chapter gives an experience of movement and makes the reader feel that he is far away in time or very close to it. The author tries to create distance for the reader by creating an indistinct sense of space inside the reader’s head at times, but at the same time, the information is as accurate as our outer senses (Carey, 2005, pp. 234-235).

Chapter 3: Digital Labour
Labor markets are being revolutionized and taken over by machines. Encryption technology will control us all. And only those individuals or companies with special knowledge and skills will wield unprecedented powers. The nomadic lifestyle is becoming popular with advantages and disadvantages. And this is the most significant lifestyle change in ten thousand years. The best way to put it is this quote by Dr. Kevin Warwick, Professor of cybernetics at Reading University :
“In contemplating the next millennium, we should prepare ourselves for a society in which a more intelligent life form other than ourselves will exist.”
More on this tomorrow!

The Digital News 
It’s really very complex in this active life to listen to news on TV.
Thus, I only use the web for that reason, and get the latest news.
