Always-on is the phenomenon that we are connected to the network (information and people) everywhere and all the time (boyd, 2012, pp. 71-72). [1]


Convergence is “the flow of content across multiple media platforms, the cooperation between multiple media industries, and the migratory behavio[u]r of media audiences who will go almost anywhere in search of the kinds of entertainment experiences they want” (Jenkins, 2006, p. 2). [2]


Dataveillance is the “systematic use of personal data systems in the investigation or monitoring of the actions or communications” Clarke (1998, p. 499). [3]


Disconnectivity is a conscious disavowal or non-consumption to remove or not use media platforms (Portwood-Stacer, 2013, p.1042).[4]


Remediation is the repurposing of media or the “representation of one medium in another” (Bolter & Grusin, 2000, p. 45). [5]


Transmedia (storytelling) is “a process where integral elements of a fiction get dispersed systematically across multiple delivery channels for the purpose of creating a unified and coordinated entertainment experience. Ideally, each medium makes it[s] own unique contribution to the unfolding of the story” (Jenkins, 2011, n.p.) [6]
