Culture is synonym to creativity, innovation and what adds spice to life. It cannot be monolithic and come from one direction only. The notion that there is a single, definable cyberculture might be due to the fact that since its inception cyberspace has been mostly dominated by an ethnocentric monolingual world, most of which gives little importance to or does not even acknowledge other cultures may have other traits.

If they are, in fact, important, then I think they will become less important as people have more contact with eachother on the web. It is something to consider.
