Les plateformes à domicile

Every space is structured by us, but it also organizes our behaviors. With the COVID-19 pandemic, the home space took on new prominence, as it reshaped itself around individual screen-based experiences, giving us access to platforms and multiple worlds—fictional, playful, or real. Entire generations will inhabit these home offices through remote work, which also serve as entertainment environments. "Television will rekindle our taste for home," observed journalist Jean Thévénot in 1946. However, this "taste for home" is not accessible to everyone: poverty, lack of literacy resources, and electricity maintain a digital divide, or the gap between developed and developing countries in access to information and communication technologies. This divide is so persistent that, according to The Guardian, more than a third of the world’s population has never used the Internet.
