T1 - Individual ICT landscapes: A lens on human-ICT relationships in transforming everyday lives.
AU - Gripenberg, Pernilla
N1 - Everyday life is becoming increasingly ‘technologised’ and ‘virtualised’ through the growing use of various information and communication technologies (ICTs). ICT devices are becoming smaller and more mobile, and also converging, including more and different types of functions. This convergence of ICTs and the mix of both the contexts and purposes of their use is often neglected in research that still tends to study single ICT, such as IT or mobile phones, and their use in single contexts, separating home, work and leisure from each other. Instead of studying single technologies in single settings, this paper seeks to explore and develop the concept of ‘ICT landscapes’ as a possible lens for studying individuals’ usage of various ICTs in combination and across settings. The approach is illustrated with some examples and elaborated through the analytical distinctions of: technology-as-artifact, technology-as-practice, and technology-as-experience. Methods of studying individual ICT landscapes are reviewed and further elaborated.
