~Trajectories of convergence p3: Stacks~ BCM112

This weeks lecture  focused on the third part of Trajectories of convergence, in particular hardware platforms, permission and ideologies. It referenced that media platforms are stacks, where the layers permit subsequent layers. Meaning that without a layer the stack would not work. Such as the game Jenga, if one of the blocks is not taken correctly the whole stack would fall, this is similar to media stacks. If an important part of the stack is not included the stack itself would not operate.

Content is at the top of the stack. Such as an Instagram account, Ios would be at the bottom of the stack, then the apple store, followed by Instagram then the content at the top of the stack would be the Instagram account. (As shown below)
