Introduction
No full textBetween May 2000 and October 2003, senior and junior researchers in seven laboratories across Europe conducted a study to investigate what they called the realities and dynamics of the user friendly information society in Europe. The research was designed to explore the everyday lives and practices of Europeans as citizens and consumers as they made their way into the supposedly revolutionary new world of technologically driven social, political, and economic organization. Among their topics are inclusion and exclusion in the information society, consumption and quality of life in a digital world, and public policy implications for Europe's way to the information society

The challenges of ICTs
No full textMany scholars have documented the way information and communication technologies (ICTs) have been entwined with major changes in society since the invention of electrical telegraphy in the 1830s.1 For some, the early ICTs, as well as those stemming from the invention of the microprocessor in the late 1960s, are best characterized as being revolutionary. This is because of the cascade of opportunities they created for new forms of media and information and communication services and for new ways of organizing society. Enthusiasm for digital ICTs peaked towards the end of the twentieth century and began to subside with the economic downturn that occurred at the end of that century. The ‘irrational exuberance’ concerning the economic value of businesses in the ‘new’ economy began to dissipate. This made way for renewed reflection on the implications of the ways that ICT production and consumption have become embedded within societies—both historically and in the twenty-First century. In this handbook our aim is to introduce readers to these theoretical and empirical reflections as they appear within research undertaken by academics across a range of social science disciplines
Le télétravail et révolution des relations entre le domicile et le travail
No full textDrawing upon the results of a survey carried out on a sample of « teleworkers », the authors consider the following three questions : - Is the availability of computer and telecommunication technologies a decisive factor promoting telework from home ? - Is telework likely to induce major changes in the organization of private life and what are its potential implications for the use of communication and information technologies in homes ? - Will the introduction of information and communication technologies into homes encourage other members of the family (apart from the teleworker) to use these devices for purposes other than telework ?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 avoir pour les technologies de l'information et de la communication (TIC) dans les foyers ? - L'introduction dans les foyers des TIC à usage professionnel conduira-t-elle ces mêmes technologies à être utilisées par des membres de la famille autres que le télétravailleur et à faire en sorte qu'elles soient employées dans d'autres buts que le télétravail ?Haddon Leslie, Silverstone Roger, Checconi Claude.
