Acknowledgements
I am tremendously grateful to the many families and individuals whose experiences are captured in this volume. Their candid views, deep reflections and personal encounters with technology have brought us closer to understanding how mobile communication is insinuating its way into our daily lives. As well, these families’ rich experiences would remain unknown to academia without the scholarship of this volume’s contributors. I have benefited considerably from their insights and analyses and look forward to learning from their future research endeavours. I am also indebted to the community of scholars whose research on technology adoption in the domestic realm has informed and inspired my work in this area. Special thanks are owed to the father of technology domestication himself, the late Roger Silverstone. I am much obliged to the editorial tea
