Connecting Families?: Information & Communication Technologies, Generations, and the Life Course

This volume brings together a group of contributors who take a life course perspective on a range of issues central to family life and the use of information and communications technologies, or ICTs.  By combining empirical research with theoretical and methodological perspectives, the book offers students, researchers, and practitioners a variety of tools to make sense of how ICTs are used, appropriated, and domesticated in family life, answering crucial questions about whether they are connecting families and improving communications and relationships.
