Military Insertables: Lessons from Civilian Use
Digital devices, once large enough to fill a room, are now small enough to be inserted into the human body. Even mobile devices have shrunk from large luggables, which were heavy and difficult to carry, to wearables that can effortlessly be worn on a person. A possible next step is insertables - digital devices that go in, through, or underneath the skin. We use the term insertables to specifically categorize devices that are voluntarily chosen, …
Towards insertables: Devices inside the human body
As technology becomes smaller, the way we carry it has progressed from luggable, to wearable and now towards devices that reside inside the human body, or insertables. This trend is particularly observable in many medical devices, such as pacemakers that were once large stand-alone devices and are now completely inserted into the body. We are now seeing a similar trajectory with non-medical systems. While people once carried keys to open office d…

Ethics in Evaluating a Sociotechnical Intervention With Socially Isolated Older Adults
The purpose of this article is to consider how ethical principles can inform the effective design and implementation of technology-based interventions that aim to promote the well-being of socially isolated older adults. We evaluated a new iPad application with small groups of older adults. In this article, we reflect on the ethical issues encountered at each stage of the research process. Drawing on the ethical principles of beneficence, researc…
Children's interdependent mobility: Compositions, collaborations and compromises
This paper discusses findings from Australian research that used a qualitative and participatory methods approach to understand how children develop and negotiate their everyday mobility. Children's mobility negotiations are discussed in reference to interactions with parents, peers and places; journeys in relation to their multi-modality, compositionality and temporality; and mobility formations in terms of ‘companionship’ – travel companions, c…
Children and Digital Wellbeing in Australia: Online regulation, conduct and competence
This article contributes to the study of children and the internet by reporting on findings from an ethnographic study of children's online use, experience and regulation in Melbourne, Australia. As part of a social inclusion study of technology use, we worked with children and their families in the contexts of everyday and home internet use. This article begins by identifying age-related gaps in the literature on children's online risks, and the…
You do the math’: Mathletics and the play of online learning
This article reports on a case study of the web-based educational maths application, Mathletics. The findings are drawn from an ethnographic study of children’s technology use in Melbourne, Australia. We explore the experience, governance and commerce of children’s Mathletics use, and offer insights into the developing possibilities and challenges emerging through the adoption of Web 2.0 applications for learning and education. In analyzing the i…

I Wish We Could Get Together: Exploring Intergenerational Play Across a Distance via a ‘Magic Box
It is well documented that ongoing social connection between the young and the elderly increase the sense of well-being of both parties. However it may be difficult to maintain and cultivate intergenerational relationships in which physical, temporal, or social distances exist between grandparents and their grandchildren. This paper outlines findings from an ethnographic research study which explores the nature of intergenerational play and inter…
