Even before Internet use became widespread, thousands of audiovisual works had been globally published and distributed by the demoscene culture. This was done using modems and diskettes.

The demoscene spawned a group of people that have worked in or started companies that played an important and pioneering role in the game, new media, digital graphics and ICT-sector industries in many countries. The demoscene
was where many digital media artists, electronic music composers, as well as visual club culture and virtual community activists got their start.

In the twenty-first century, the demoscene is still an active and productive global network and culture.
