INTRODUCTIONComputing can be defined as a process which mainly gets benefits and processedthrough several algorithmic processes. The whole process and business operations take placewith the use of different computers. It can be done with the help of carrying out a generaldevice known as computer (Shackelford and Andres, 2010). For the same, it is highlyessential to manage different types of information on the basis of and structuring thehardware and software system. Computing must involve some form of a computer system onthe basis of appropriate structuring can be made. In this regards, the present study is based onthe two computing stories published anytime between 1/02/2016 to 15/4/2016. These storiesare being analysed by using Actor Network Theories. Further, this essay helps in gainingproper understanding about modern computing which does not act in isolation. It alsoprovides appropriate description about the actants and actors of the stories and how theyacting upon other actants in assemblage. Actor Network Theory and its relevancyActor network theory (ANT) is becoming quite common concern among theinformation systems. It can be define as an approach to social theory under which all objectshave been treated as a part of social network (Latour, 2011). ANT is associated with thecapacity of nonhumans to act or participate in system or network as well.

In order to present this theory more appropriately two views can be presented. In this,the first view shows the network of actors for a particular time refereed as a network theorymodel. On the other hand, the second view shows the dynamics nature of the actor network.In this regard, it can be stated that within ANT actors can presented in the form of human,technology as well as intangible actors (Brown, Chui and Manyika, 2011).
