Résumé |
The Internet changed the way the global community interacts and communicates. This cultural shift allows like-minded individuals to connect and share ideas.

This article focuses on the broad umbrella of “geek” culture, exploring a variety of interests such as cosplay, fanfiction, and gaming.
