"Nomadicity" - Todd Gitlin.
Within this article Todd is pointing out that the internet, and popular culture in general, is no longer a stationary entity. He points out that it did start out this way, much like the records. In the old days a person purchased a record and had to go home to listen to the music, but this is no longer the case, one can simply get an app on their smart phone, download the music and then listen to the music while riding the bus, or train. Popular Culture is no longer tied to one place, it is everywhere, and it is a mobile entity waiting to pounce.
"Wikipedia and Beyond" - Katherine Mangu-Ward.
Katherine is telling us that innovations like Wikipedia are always evolving, and that if these do not evolve with the populous then they will be left behind to fail in the future. She does contain many solutions for these websites and projections for the future as well.
