A Study in Ubiquitous Computing Technology
My study focused on concepts of distributed “home,” collaboration between family members across continents and within a city, and how ordinary people use technology to achieve personal and cultural values. Besides interviewing my subjects, I visited their homes, staying overnight or for several days when possible, and occasionally traveled with them. Interviews and home visits took place in and around Seattle, St. Louis, rural Illinois and New York in the United States, and Bangkok and Chantaburi in Thailand.
