Bringing Technology Home: Gender and Technology in a Changing Europe
New technologies are transforming the economies of Europe, West and East. Get Bringing Technology Home computer books for free.
New products, new production processes: are they bringing greater equality and similarity to the lives of women and men? Are women sharing in technological design and decision-making or are they, as before, just the disregarded users whose fingers press the buttons and turn the knobs? This book presents, from eight countries, original empirical studies of the design, production, distribution and use of familiar household technologies. The authors trace the life circuit of everyday artifacts, from the washing machine and the central vacuum cleaning system, to the food processor, the plastic credit card and, that ultimate masculine dream, the totally electronic "smart" house. Check Bringing Technology Home our best computer books for 2013. All books are available in pdf format and downloadable from rapidshare, 4shared, and mediafire.
