Everyday coping with technology (2010)
Working Paper
Turner, P., & Turner, S. (2010). Everyday coping with technology

We report an empirical investigation of Borgmann’s observation that people are fixed in the range of relationships they can have with technology based on their prior familiarity with it. This technological horizon might serve to constrain the kinds o... Read More about Everyday coping with technology.
