The Questions Are Still Good: Domestication Theory and Digital Media Today
The Questions Are Still Good: Domestication Theory and Digital Media Today
The challenges of conducting systematic evidence reviews: A case study of factors shaping children’s digital skills
Systematic evidence reviews draw together findings from multiple studies, helping researchers and decision makers to understand patterns of research and findings across varying contexts and research methodologies. They have become more popular over the last twenty years, with various guides discussing the different ways in which they can be conducted and the issues arising in this process. This case study of a systematic review of the factors sha…
The Routledge Companion to Digital Media and Children
In a deeply mediatised age that embeds media within everyday life, it is particularly important to examine how digital and online media contribute to teenagers’ sociability. There is a lack of detail around how media impact upon the ways teens communicate and create relationships with others. Based on studies of sociability, teenagers and media, and on the media practices of a sample of Portuguese teenagers, research demonstrates that teenagers’ …
Youth in the Digital Age: Antecedents and Consequences of Digital Skills
What actors and factors shape children and young people’s digital skills? And how do their digital skills impact the rest of their lives? These are the two research questions addressed in this paper, along with an analysis of how the research literature to date has measured digital skills. The findings reported here come from a systematic evidence review of the antecedents and consequences of digital skills (Haddon, Cino, Doyle, Livingstone, Masc…
The dilemmas of parental mediation: Continuities from parenting in general
This article examines how much parent-child interactions around the online world reflect broader, more long-standing parent-child relations and parenting dilemmas. It does so through exploring the meanings that parents give to their parenting practices and the beliefs that underlie parental mediation of their children's online activities as well as the reasons for any differences between their broader normative approach to parental mediation and …

Smartphone Cultures
Social betting apps, (e.g. Tedbets, Youbetme, Betable and BuddyBet) are new mobile platforms that mediate wagering among friends by providing a system through which the parameters of the bet are established and a payout guaranteed. Accessed via smartphones, these apps fall into the category of what we have previously termed ‘mobile social gambling’, an evolving set of techno-social assemblages. In this chapter the authors conduct a techno-cultura…
Generational Use of New Media
Generational Use of New Media examines and contrasts how younger and older people, representing different generations, engage with the new media that they increasingly encounter in everyday life. Exploring the various assumptions about the degrees to which younger and older people are more or less willing to use, or are capable of using, new media, the social circumstances under which they do so and the very design of those media, this book criti…

Children and the Mobile Internet
This chapter aims to explore some of the processes behind the early adoption of smartphones by children. The analysis revealed several measures (age, SES and country differences) that suggest the cost considerations are indeed one factor influencing smartphone use by children
Children’s critical evaluation of parental mediation
Although the new sociology of childhood draws attention to societal influences on children’s experiences, it also sees them as active agents. This article investigates children’s perspectives on parental interventions in regards their use of the internet, an aspect not covered in the parental mediation literature. Although children are generally positive about this mediation, here we explore cases where children consider it to be problematic thro…
Mobile media and children
This article explores a range of research issues relating to children and mobile media, including the potential growth of children’s screen time, the regulation of children’s use of these media, the challenge of managing increasing media options, effects on children’s perception of time, problems posed for parental surveillance and the domestication of mobile media within peer groups. All of these are viewed in the context of broader societal cha…
Domestication Analysis, Objects of Study, and the Centrality of Technologies in Everyday Life
The article first introduces the domestication approach, its origins, its key elements, and its general contributions and limitations. It then examines ways in which the domestication analysis could be developed. One issue concerns contemporary objects of study and research questions given developments in information and communication technologies since the earliest domestication studies. Other issues include developing the analysis of the centra…

A Comparative Analysis of European Press Coverage of Children and the Internet
This article reports a content analysis of press coverage of children and the internet in order to examine cross-cultural similarities and differences in the news values framing accounts of the benefits from and risks facing children online. By comparing media reporting in 14 European countries, the study found greater coverage of online risks than opportunities across Europe, which appears to be due to the high position of crime stories on the n…
Risky Experiences for Children Online: Charting European Research on Children and the Internet
Children’s online experience, especially the risks to which they might be exposed, is an increasingly important policy and research concern. This article reports an analysis of the amount, nature and range of empirical research concerning children’s online experiences across 18 European countries. Research teams in each country have collaborated, as part of the ‘EU Kids Online’ network, to identify, code and compare studies. In all, 235 studies w…

The Contribution of Domestication Research to In-Home Computing and Media Consumption
This article deals with the contribution made by domestication research to our understanding of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in everyday life, especially in the home. It first provides a sense of the diversity of research in this tradition and how this is evolving. The article then reflects upon and illustrates different elements of research in this tradition, providing examples of how these help to explain patterns of ICT ex…
The character of telework and the characteristics of teleworkers
A flexible definition of teleworking suggests that it is more widespread than is generally believed. However, is telework technologically driven? This is tested with data from six countries. As the categories of the definition have distinctive social characteristics, telework seems to reflect traditional occupational practices rather than a major technological shift
Social Exclusion and Information and Communication Technologies: Lessons from Studies of Single Parents and the Young Elderly
Current notions of social exclusion are to an extent anchored in older concerns with relative poverty, which had the merit of considering not just material deprivation but also the social and cultural dimensions of participation or exclusion. The focus of this article is on the role of ICTs in relation to people's ability to participate in society. It draws upon detailed qualitative research on single parent and young elderly households to explor…
Design and the Domestication of Information and Communication Technologies: Technical Change and Everyday Life
Technological innovation is not just a matter of production. Consumption and use are equally essential components of the innovation process. Technological innovation is also not just a matter of engineering. Both new and old technologies are social products: they are symbolic and aesthetic as well as material and functional. Production and consumption are not related to each other in a singular or linear fashion, but are the product of a complex …
Le télétravail et révolution des relations entre le domicile et le travail
Les résultats d'une enquête menée sur un échantillon de « télétravailleurs » permettent aux auteurs de tenter de répondre à trois questions : - L'accessibilité des technologies des télécommunications et de l'informatique est-elle un facteur déterminant qui favorise et permette le télétravail à domicile ? - Le télétravail est-il susceptible d'introduire des changements majeurs dans l'organisation de la vie privée et quelles implications peut-il av…
The Enigma of the Micro: Lessons from the British Home Computer Boom
This article first outlines the early development of the home computer in Britain, focusing particularly on the sahence of the first "boom" years. Based on later interviews with users, we illustrate the symbolic and collective nature of home computmg. We show that there were, in fact, competing conceptions of the role of this product. Producer debates about these were also reflected in consumer evaluations. Finally, we argue that it would be wron…
The home computer: The making of a consumer electronic
Where did the home computer come from? It is well known that its production became possible through a process of miniaturization geared to military and commercial requirements. Today's home computers are designed and marketed for quite different purposes, though many of the more recent machines have been promoted as having equally utilitarian value. The use of the home micro for word-processing in particular has made the machine into a potent sym…
