This chapter examines the interplay between technology and the home’s social and moral organization, focusing on the fact that “the home” is a highly variable cultural object, in physical, social, economic, and emotional terms. It approaches this topic from three perspectives: The image of the so-called smart home and its connection to previous images of the “home of the future”; a decentered view of the home as a sociotechnical arena, concentrating on the boundaries of the movement of technologies into and out of domestic space; and considerations of safety and danger as they relate to information technology and nurturance.Less

In this chapter, I consider the general question of ubiquitous listening, with a particular focus on how music is imagined in “homes of the future” at the beginning of the twenty-first century and ten years later. The connections and differences among wearable computing, pervasive computing, and smartphone apps lead me to argue that new issues of size and time are arising, as well as new focuses for the study of music.Less
