Description: Making Technology Our Own? focuses on how consumers, or users, acquire and master technology in different social contexts, and examines how they actively create a relationship with, and define themselves through, that technology. The authors of this collection of articles argue that the users/consumers of technology are the co-designers of the relationship to technological products.
