Daniell S on 23 Sep 10This meets the requirements for the IT triangle because within the article it refers to some companies not accepting this application. Within strand 1 the issue of The digital divide and equality of access comes up. Within the article i learned about the organizations who are trying to make this app for all people with internet connected devices. This shows that the Apple company is at a sort of disadvantage for being behind in this new "App for all" program. By staying out of they will not be allowing the app created to the devices the company has created. This also related to Strand 2. In this app it will created to work on what ever people desire the app to work on. This is expressed in the article through "The idea would enable a given app to work, for example, on a web-ready television, in a car and on a mobile, no matter the makers of the devices." It would work on all of these things listed. This is represented through "Home and Leisure" and "Political Process". It would relate to "Home and Leisure" because the app can connect to computers and cell phones. It can also relate to the political process, with Apple not really wanting to get involved with the project. The relation between this article and Strand 3 is that this article involves Personal and Public Communications. This app can be downloaded by just about anyone with a internet connected device. The stakeholders in this situation would be the people using the apps. Another stakeholder would be the 22 organizations creating the app. The other stakeholders would the Companies who are allowing this app into their device;.
