As tecnologias da informação no Brasil: um ensaio sobre processos tecnológicos no período de 1995-2010

Abstract

In this paper we will seek to reconstruct the beginning of the Brazilian internet market. For this we will start from articles published on sites of different natures, in the period of the initial 15 years of the internet market in Brazil. This news is important because it brings time-honored questions about Brazilians' use of the internet, as well as the state's effort to create and control the internet market. Still, we will bring dilemmas that concerned the subjects in this period, either from the point of view of the impacts of the internet and technology on the lives of its users, or the legal devices needed to protect the subjects in their daily relationship with the internet. These data will be mobilized in the operationalization of different network theories that are in dispute in the field of sociological knowledge production, cujo os representantes são Castells, Elias, Granovetter e Latour. Thus, through these theories, we will denature the concerns related to the use of the internet in Brazil, as well as remember that the issues that afflict us today, in fact, are old.
