Abstract

In the span of a few decades information and communication technology has transformed the way we work, interact, and comprehend our surroundings. Most of this transformation has been experienced in retrospect rather than planned ahead. Consequently it is difficult to design and introduce technology for sustaining existing sociomaterial networks because they may be as sensitive to the emergent side effects of the technology as to its intended effects. If the network is fragile, important to people’s livelihood or both then these difficulties call for caution. At the same time, technology is believed to hold the potential to improve many people’s lives, not least in developing countries. This double bind has spawned considerable research interest in the design and use of technology for developing countries.
