Abstract
All forms of human communication are rapidly transitioning to digital. Due to the development of modern digital technology, the process of information transfer is accelerating and expanding. In this age of universal digitalization, we are fascinated by the evolution of nomadic cultural expression in this age, being one of the world’s dozens of “dying” cultures. Being some of the world’s first known types of civilization, nomads have a unique perspective that has endured to this day. The flow of news within the nomadic community is carried throughout the entire province through the oral recounts of the nomadic missionary (Badarchin) who travels frequently listening and spreading stories. This has always been the nomadic way of communicating news and current affairs. The purpose of this study is to explore how today’s digital technology is influencing this way of life. Human information communication preference varies depending on cultural characteristics. Nomadic information communication culture is unique to what we are used to in a modern era of advanced technology. In the presence of all the new forms of communication. They have a rich history and tradition in preserving information using stories. We are interested in whether nomads are maintaining their traditional forms of communication in the face of the strong influx of modern digital communication technologies. In this study, we focus on the impact of digital information and communication technologies on the oral tradition culture of Mongolian nomads, known as the last home of nomads.
