The home of the future: an ethnographic study of new information technologies in the home

Advances in Consumer Research

Author: Venkatesh, A., Stolzoff, N., Shih, E., Mazumdar, S.
Year: 2001
Type: Journal Article

Abstract:

This paper explores the "Home of the Future" from the ethnographic perspective. It conceptualizes the home as a constellation of physical, technical, and social and cultural spaces, and asks the question of how these new information technologies fit into the household. Findings from the present research suggests that there is incomplete domestication of information technologies into the household, and that emerging technologies should pay close attention to the family's requirements for everyday living
