The Connected Home: probing the effects and affects of domesticated ICTs
Matthew Arnold · 2004
than 100 years ago. And now, (as if the home has not been burdened with enough responsibility), it is asked to playa major role as a communications node in a global network of interactive media - a role which creates particular challenges for our understanding of the design and appropriation of sociotechnical systems. This paper describes a method to inform ICT design through collaboration with the household in an investigation of the effective uses of technologies, the affects of this use, and how the household domesticates technologies.
