Week 10: Hardware Platforms, Access Permissions and Ideologies of Control

The format of digital allowed for audiences to transcend the boundaries of traditional media. Information doesn’t have to be a linear process anymore and the flow through platforms is an example of how people are taking back control of information.

The mobile phone is now an extension of ourselves. This part of the lecture I was very interested in. With infinite knowledge at our finger tips this made me think of humans a s AI with extra steps. Collective intelligence is becoming more prominent with this format and further links between knowledge in being created

So in the never ending debate of apple v android that is filled with bias, passion and misconception what is the difference in these two means for information. The platform of apple has heavy control over the products it is closed sourced therefore unable to be manipulates, on the other hand android is customisable as it is open sourced.

It is for you to decide which you prefer and which meets your needs. Which one wins for you?
