The ubiquitous "home" : within a technologically driven nomadic culture
(Book)

Includes bibliographical references (pages 153-169).

This is a book of the influence of current network and digital technology as an agent for redefining, transforming, and reassessing, the concept of "home". The premise of this study is that the evolving use of Internet as a virtual transportation medium may result in the change of comfort and distance within spatial environments forcing one's living space of working, learning, and playing to extend over an ubiquitous locale. This extension would in turn affect the traditional concept of the "home". Although the meaning of home has remained the same throughout centuries i.e. to provide shelter and food, the implications of "homeness" has changed through culture and time and these essential needs are transforming themselves into new forms within the demands of digital computing and telecommunication of the 21st century.
