Transportation, Transformation, and Metaphoricity: Concepts of Transmission in ANT and German Media Theory

Abstract
This chapter discusses similarities of and differences between the epistemological premises of ANT and German media theory concerning concepts of transmission. The applicability of ANT for media investigations and the compatibility of ANT concepts in media studies have been discussed intensively for several years now. The profound similarities as well as the critical differences in the study of the material conditions of human culture have also stimulated current reconsiderations and reformulations in cultural media studies, as German media theory is most commonly called in Germany. The chapter gives a brief overview of recently published approaches to cultural techniques and intersections of media and techno-philosophy that are increasingly being translated into English and therefore also internationally accessible, alongside with the discussion concerning their compatibility with ANT in respect of cultural transmission.

Lower Memory Consumption for Data Transmission in Smart Cloud Environments With CBEDE Methodology
It is the process in which the information to be transmitted is added to electromagnetic waves, since the information signals do not usually have the proper properties to travel through the transmission means, thus through a means of transport, that information gains the proper properties for transmission.
