Pari sanaa digitaalisesta kodista

18. joulukuuta 2006

Päivän sitaatti tulee Genevieve Belliltä, Intelin armoitetulta etnografilta:

"The digital home is never going to be about technology -- it's about the people who live there. We have slow-moving cultural paradigms, and 'home' means something in our imaginations. In England and America, you say, 'My home is my castle.' In India, people talk metaphorically about their homes as 'pure' and the outside world as 'polluted.' In Indonesia, home means grace, modesty, and simplicity.

The things that people care about aren't changing-- we're curious, we want to be socially connected and spiritually inspired. The home is not a blank slate waiting for technology to arrive."
