So what (a.k.a. why should we care)?

“Whatever impact industrialization and urbanization may have had on nuclear families,

they have not erased the social support functions”

11

So what (a.k.a. why should we care)? 30 million people with home networks Design implications:

What are the current technological needs? What motivates people to buy new

technologies?

How are home networks viewed? A/V networks are a place to “come

together” Multiple networks

Distinction between personal and work use Being neighborly Ownership

Computers, not A/V Some specific to room

Digital housekeeping

How are home networks viewed? Gurus

Have professional experience Setup and maintenance of network Use network conventions Logical view

Consumers Include furniture Include routines of use Merge infrastructure devices Physical view

Trouble?

Umm.. Yeah.

04/20/23 04:58

18

Trouble?

Complexity Mainly designed for professionals Low level details

19

Trouble?

Coordination Photographs iPods TiVo

Trouble?

Invisibility

Trouble?

23

Trouble?

Legacy External entities Focus on visuals 30% return rate One person’s responsibility

04/20/23 04:58

24

Design Implications

Organizational and spatial Visualization

Evolution of network Design for routines Privacy and security Self-healing Possible protocol re-design New interaction techniques Legacy and transparency

Conclusion

Home networks encompass both social technological aspects

Many user experience problems Partially due to consumer view of the

network Designs should consider space, routines

and experience
