The economic and socialcultural effects of developing cyber-infrastructure for global information storage in Iceland, 2014
The aim of this project was to map the impacts of information infrastructures (for example, data centers, internet exchanges, and fiber-optic cables). Though such networks are often described as immediate and immaterial, this research proposed that data transfer and storage actually have significant...
