Internet of Things (IoT)

The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the many connected objects and devices embedded in our everyday environment. These objects often feature a method of human interaction to allow users to configure or monitor these systems (Turunen et al. 2015).

Dark Fiber

The idea of distributed information networks is the backbone and key architecture to the internet. However, the majority population of the World Wide Web that sits on top of the internet exists within walled gardens, such as the various social media platforms we commonly use in our everyday lives (Mitew 2017).

Hacktivism

The rise of the early internet birthed ideologies such as cyber-libertarianism, where individuals believed they could act in whatever capacity they choose to pursue their interests online (Thierer 2009).

Social Network Revolutions

The nature of social media allows us to communicate with each other more effectively, this is a basic aspect which is quite commonly known and I have mentioned it on this blog previously.

iFeudalism And Walled Gardens

Feudalism existed during the medieval and renaissance eras where lords would have relationships with peasants over property. The peasants were generally free, but they could not sell the land on which they lived and the lords decided how they were to use the land (Mitew 2017).

The Attention Economy And Digital Marketing

The attention economy refers to the paradigm shift from legacy media models that rely on providing scarce content, to the age of content aggregators such as Netflix that provide content on demand (Mitew 2017). As such, the business model of content aggregators deems attention as being valuable rather than the specific access to content.

Liquid Labour And Digital Nomads

Mark Deuze refers to liquid labour as work based on information which has “permanent flux, constant change and structural indeterminacy” (2006). This type of work follows a horizontal organisational structure and deploys very fast OODA loops with very fast feedback loops (Mitew 2017).
