| Abstract | |
In the period of globalization, the relevance of information technologies as essential components of productive activities is remarkable, significantly altering the dynamics of the space, economy, society, and politics. Application software has become one of the most ubiquitous products in the software industry, and its popularization is directly related to the spread of mobile Internet connectivity and the greater availability of devices such as smartphones. In the most recent stage of the computerization of the territory, the advent of cloud computing has brought crucial changes to the production and consumption of applications, with special implications for data manipulation and the contracting of information technology services. Although the availability of telematic networks is greater in the large urban centers of the Brazilian territory, the production and consumption of applications are also notorious in those areas where globalized scientific agriculture is expanding. Faced with new technical possibilities, the hegemonic agents of the information technology industry promote the imposition of a consensus to encourage the consumption of certain types of applications, especially in Brazil, which has one of the largest consumer markets in the world. On the other hand, facilitated access to networks and devices also generates emancipatory uses of technologies, reverberating in the uses of the territory. (AU) | |
