| Popis | This paper aims to acquaint audience with the phenomenon of cyberculture, a specific lifestyle shared and transmitted to members of various Internet subcultures which dates back to the 1960s. Up to the present day, there have been four phases of cyberculture development. The phenomenon was created by university students, hackers and programmers who cooperated on the development of the first computer programs and their interconnection. It was hackers from MIT who held a privileged position in the first development phase, writing the first hacker’s code of free access to computers. The second development phase in the 1970s was in the spirit of enthusiasm from technological progress. The first computer was created which was accessible to a wider public. Moreover, specific science-fiction literature was formed in this period that gradually leant from a trashy genre toward technomodernism. In the third development stage, represented by the 1980s, a personal computer was widespread also in Western Europe and served both for work and entertainment. The first public networks were developed and new subcultures were created from which cyberpunk was the most significant one. The last stage described so far began in the 1990s when there was a fusion of technology with the majority society. |
