Technologically-mediated information has played a fundamental role throughout human history, and the possibilities of sharing information using man-made tools continue to astonish humanity. The exchange of information defines human behaviour. Indeed, linguists and biologists maintain that the storage of information in various formats —such as art, language and tools— was the driving force that transformed human beings into the planet’s dominant species.
