19. Conclusions
Author concludes; Digital culture co-exists
with other media cultures, it is not a
replacement.
My Conclusions are,
“digital culture” will not replace pre-existing media
culture. However, as it will effect and change the
way we consume media more and more, there is
potential in the future.
