When humans invent things, for the first 30 years they call those things ‘technology’. Then, when it’s successful, they begin to call them ‘infrastructure’. But the transformation of technology into infrastructure is a cultural moment in which responsibilities shift: different actors become involved with the tools and processes that are necessary to maintain this new infrastructure. The growing public interest in these solidifying pieces of ‘what we assume society provides’ evokes the necessity to tend to issues such as inclusiveness, transparency, accountability, and openness.
