For example, social media has digital code that creates the structure and format of the app or website. However, social media is dependent on user interactions with it. This begs the question: are user interactions part of this infrastructure? More standardized infrastructure such as what is featured in President Biden\u2019s infrastructure bill (bridges, roads, wifi networks, etc.) are necessary and essential to American citizens. However, none of this would be necessary if not for the presence of people in the U.S. who require roads, bridges, and wifi to complete their daily activities. Many of these keywords take an approach that is largely scientific or analytical in nature, somewhat removed from a human perspective or accounting for human interaction. This infrastructure keyword is no different. In this keyword, the public is thought of as more of a collective unit rather than a complex variety of individuals.
