What is the digital footprint? - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔-Storage and computation convergence
-Examples: Google location tracker, video of amazing mind reader who was able to find out
private information about people through the internet, recording everything, justdelete.me
What is timeless time? - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔•The social practice that aims at negating
sequence to install ourselves in perennial simultaneity and simultaneous ubiquity
•Technology allows you to have a real time communication with someone like through a chat or

•Timeless time refers to the fact that the combination of synchronous and asynchronous
information processing allows to negate sequences

around the world, distance is no longer a factor
What is poly-directionality? - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔-From one to one: telephone, letter
-From one to many: radio, TV

geographic space. - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔True
, What are the three characteristics of digitalization that make up of space of flows? - CORRECT
ANSWER ✔✔-Death of distance
-Poly-directionality
-Network structure
What are network externalities? - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔When the value of a product to the
one user depends on how many other users there are
What is positive network externalities? - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔Positive network externalities
means the more people, the more benefit for everybody
In regards to economies of scale, what is a fixed cost? - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔land, machines,
etc.
In regards to economies of scale, what are marginal costs? - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔workers,
buy new materials, the more you produce, the cheaper it gets
In regards to economies of scale, what is the variable cost? - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔sum of all
the marginal costs
True or False. In regards to economies of scale, in digital products, most costs are related to
fixed costs. - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔True
True or False. In regards to economies of scale, digital products have infinite economies of scale
- CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔True
