Our societies, organizations, and personal lives have been profoundly affected by
information and communication technologies (ICTs). ICTs are embedded into
everyday appliances, constitute core tools for organizational work, and are central
mediators for our social life, both on the small, personal scale and on a
political and societal scale. In this year’s conference we invited participants to
discuss experiences of “digital living” within a multitude of empirical settings.
How are ICTs implicated in daily practices of care for elderly and frail people?
How do organizations deal with their increasingly complex systems’ portfolios?
How can basic human capacities be utilized in interaction and collaboration with
digital devices? How do people relate to each other when interaction is mediated
through social networks? What are the societal effects of ICTs becoming ubiquitous
in everyday situations, such as travel, shopping, everyday logistics, and
community work?
