Best sentence I read this morning
“It is ironic that, even as the expansion of the Internet led people to declare the ‘end of geography,’ the Internet continued to be understood largely through metaphors of geographic place, for example, superhighways, teleports, server farms, home pages.”
(Zook, Matthew. 2005. The Geographies of the Internet. Annual Review of Information Science and Technology 40: 53-78.)
What other metaphors of place do we use to understand the Internet?
