This article is to document digital Korea. It discusses the sociocultural contexts of the growth of digital technologies and culture because the current boom of digital technologies and culture cannot be separated from each other. Although it cannot go back several decades, it starts to address some early developments of the Internet directly influencing the contemporary Korean society. This historicization process allows us to firmly comprehend several key developments, in particular, the major reasons for development and the implications of the digital Korean phenomenon. While there are several digital technologies, it analyzes a few major digital technologies, such as the Internet, broadband services, and smartphone technologies, as well as relevant digital culture, from three different lens, including information and communication technology policies, corporate competition, and cultural perspectives.

This paper studies whether and how information and communication technology (ICT) changes self-construal and cultural values in a developing country. Ethiopian children were given laptops in the context of an ICT for development scheme. We compared children who used laptops (n = 69) with a control group without laptops (n = 76) and a second control group of children whose laptop had broken down (n = 24). Results confirmed that after 1 year of laptop usage, the children’s self-concept had become more independent and children endorsed individualist values more strongly. Interestingly, the impact of laptop usage on cultural values was mediated by self-construal (moderated mediation). Importantly, modernization did not “crowd out” traditional culture: ICT usage was not associated with a reduction in traditional expressions (interdependent self-construal, collectivist values). Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
