A new electronic-based culture is emerging in the on-line communities centered around P2P networks, open source, and through personal web sites and blogs. It has been gradually developing ever since the world wide web was launched in the early 1990s, even though it began in the period before then. To call the loose collection of tendencies centering around the non-commercial spread of software, services, and media (music/art/video/writing) a culture may be premature, however, understanding what it could represent for a broader context beyond the confines of the Internet requires this designation.
