What shapes the role of Information and Communication Technologies
in our everyday life? Despite the speed with which information and
communication technologies such as the PC, mobile telephone and
internet have found their way into society, there remains a good
deal of debate surrounding their adoption and use. Through
empirical studies covering a broad range of everyday life and work
settings, this volume provides grounded insights into the social
dynamics influencing how ICTs are both shaped and experienced.
Specifically, the book examines the contributions of diverse
disciplines to our understanding of these processes, the symbolic
nature of technologies, the influence of design on the experience
of ICTs, the role of users in influencing that design, the social
constraints affecting the use of those technologies, and strategies
for evaluating the social consequences of ICT innovations.
