Abstract
Risk-free one may prophesy that new information technologies in the home will have an impact on everyday life and on the functioning of households. Predicting the nature and the extent of the social implications of new home information technologies is more precarious. Even today little insight exists about how every day and domestic lives are being affected by information technologies. Little systematic research has been and most research confines to one or some specific aspects. A clear picture of the whole is hard to get.
