Abstract

ABSTRACT: Digital automated and connected technologies are playing a central role shaping how home life is experienced and understood. This emerging digital ecology is also reconstituting the home as a site of research and the methods required to study it. This article introduces a collection of contributions that highlight methodological issues and avenues for researching life in technology-saturated home environments. The contributions make the case for qualitative, creative, collaborative, computational, and quantitative methodological approaches.
