The home is a key aspect of society and the widespread use of
computers and other information appliances is transforming the way
in which we live, work and communicate in the information age. The
importance of this subject has never been greater with the
encroachment of information technology into every corner of the
home and social spheres. Many more homes in the developed world
will have access to information and information technology in the
near future, forming an information society. This book seeks to
answer the questions surrounding this move to a wired society',
such as: How is the new technology actually used? What are the
effects on society as a whole? How will it affect human
relationships? Who will gain and who will lose? What technology is
there to support everyday life? What services do people really
want? How do we study aspects of this phenomenon? A/LISTA Home
Informatics and Telematics brings together papers from researchers
around the world who are looking at this challenging problem
domain. There are contributions on the technical computing areas
associated with the home, the HCI of household technology, and
theoretical studies on the sociological, psychological and
methodological aspects of information technology in everyday life.
Also included are studies on the use of computers and the Internet
at home, along with fundamental research on the social nature of
human communication. This volume contains selected proceedings from
the International Conference on Home Informatics and Telematics
(HOIT 2000), IT at Home: Virtual Influences on Everyday Life',
