Contemporary domestic infrastructures and technology design

In this proposal, I describe my examination of two contemporary domestic infrastructures. Specifically, I am investigating whether we need to surface more information about these systems to make them intelligible to end-users. I describe my empirical research to date and the design of two technology probes which I will use to learn more how home infrastructure affects domestic technology design. Keywords Infrastructure, home, home networks, resource delivery systems ACM Classification Keywords H5.m. Information interfaces and presentation (e.g., HCI): Miscellaneous.
