Cloud Punk. Herlander Elias

The cloud changes the game when it brings the logic of the network for commercial domination and it spreads the motto of the computer as terminal for streaming. Thinking beyond this is to realize that what «died» here was the computer. Without our daily digital media the cloud makes no sense. We may be in a hybrid point in some cases, but the cloud is more than a trend, is a macro-event of significance and a macro-fact. However, we can still rely on the idea of Sterling and Gibson, who in the 1980s knew the computer would become more than a object of glamour and sophistication. The computer was from the start meant to be pure network, thus the cloud, and here comes a new wave of new things and the way people changed for using the digital media over the last 20 years. In the time of the cloud, the new heroes are the cloud punks.
