In this talk, Dr. Lee H. Humphreys will explore several theoretical approaches and methods of studying the ways that people adopt and integrate communication technologies into their everyday lives. Drawing on a multi-year interdisciplinary project, this lecture will describe a case exploring the adoption of an Internet of Things network in small communities. It will also identify different characteristics of sensor-mediated communication. The talk concludes with reflections about how we study various kinds of technologies with a communication lens.
