Description - Making Technology Our Own?: Domesticating Technology into Everyday Life by Merete Lie

Technology is a vital part of the ability of a social system to reproduce as well as to change. What happens to technology after it leaves the laboratory and the designers' desk? The authors of this collection of articles argue that the users/consumers of technology, are so to speak, co-designers of their relationship to technological products. For example, how has gender affected the use of ultrasound? Has the computer in everyday life domesticated technology? And has technology brought about a method of remote parenthood?
