Altruism is manifested in a desire to serve others without regard for any individual rewards.
Selfishness, on the other hand, is the desire to please the individual person indulging in his or her own desires.
In simple terms, altruism is caring about the welfare of other people and acting to help them.
Digital altruism is the notion that some are willing to freely share information based on the principle of reciprocity and in the belief that in the end, everyone benefits from sharing information via the Internet. I agree ^_^
