Call for Papers for ARCDigital 'Platform Politics' conference
A Multidisciplinary Conference in Cambridge, UK, 29-30 April, 2011
Wired recently announced the 'death' of the Web, based on the premise that platforms are becoming the primary mode of access to the Internet. Platforms are portals or applications that offer specific Internet services, frameworks for social interaction, or interfaces to access other networked communications and information distribution systems. Additionally the prevalence of mobile computing and its operating systems, that prioritise Internet access via 'apps' not web browsers, is intensifying this transformation, and this model is now being applied to tablet computing - and may well soon spread into general computing and computer mediated communication.
