Description
"This book, Digital Domesticity: Media, Materiality, and Home Life, is concerned with the home, but it is not bounded by the home. While the home provides a necessary anchor point for our empirical and theoretical work, we are well aware that the home is not self-contained, but is a node in multiple commercial, cultural, and technical networks, all of which interact, and all with local implications and global reach. The home's socio-technical ecology operates in recursive relations with these much larger ecologies, none of which can be ignored if the home is to be understood. This book unearths this digital domesticity through accounts of evolving socio-technical relations as they unfold in processes of: adopting and adapting to new innovations; using, maintaining, as well as neglecting the complex of technologies in the home; and, confronting the obsolescence of particular technologies and failure of systems of consumer technologies"--
