5.9 Sum up on tactics We have identified seven tactics on how mobile people act to feel more at home and cope with the mobile lifestyle. • Territorializing is a way of taking in more/new territory • Bubbling is shutting out context • Outboxing is preparing artifacts for moving • Connecting is staying in touch with extended family • Differentiating is contextualizing the home feeling • Doubling is copying things from the primary home • Rhythming is continuation beyond mobility The choice and blends of tactics are personal and changes over time due to specific circumstances, availability of services and physical artifacts. However, by identifying thematic practices recognizable across informants we point to tactics of homing, which we, based on Winther’s work [24] claimhaverelevanceandaregenerallyapplicablefor people’s activity of homing both in stereotypic single-‐house homes and in situations where home goes beyond the single house as is the case in this study. 6. TACTICS, PEOPLE AND TECHNOLOGY In this paper we have coined a number of tactics as a palette of ways to deal with living between several homely places. We motivate that these tactics are thematic practices, which can serve to identify openings for design of future mobile technologies in the direction of providing additional means and tools for supporting these tactics. When looking at the role existing technology plays in the lives of the people studied, it is remarkable how important the laptop and the mobile phones are to the people we followed. Everyone carry their mobile phone and all except Paul and the family commuting between flat and holiday house brought their laptops around with them. A substantial part of the bags carried around consists of technology, laptop, mobile phone, 211
ipod, loudspeakers, wires and a rich collection of adaptors. This is to some extend a paradox since while clothes and other valuable physical objects are hard to copy, these technologies and adaptors can in principle easily be copied or doubled. Aipperspach et al. [2] discuss the problem of homes increasingly becoming homogeneous, e.g. temperature, ceiling heights, uniform access to data, all-‐in-‐one devices bringing work into the home and they call for increased heterogeneity and variation in the home through proposing new kind of technologies integrating heterogeneously with the physical environment. The people in our study certainly move between very heterogeneous environments in their mobile life, and for some of them it is the whole point of maintaining different dwellings, however, on the technology side they carry with them insensitive, all-‐in-‐one devices making it very hard to differentiate in terms of digital contents, contacts and interaction between the different places. Thus there seems to be a room for designing new mobile devices supporting differentiating tactics better than current devices. As the study illustrates this will not be equally attractive for everyone. From the study it seems that choice of the specific tactics or combinations of these depend on the concrete opportunities of the situation as well as the lifestyle, preferences and personality of the people adopting them. Wayne for instance bubbles intensively via his mobile phone in his very mobile everyday life. He is most of the time rather disconnected to the local situation, except from the physical meetings he holds. Whereas Lisa actively differentiates between the places she stays in delving at the specific values of the local situation. But from a technology design perspective today, there is weak support for some of the tactics. Current technologies provide poor support the tactics of territorializing, differentiating and rythming. As can be seen e.g. from the examples in 4.1.1, currently it is very much physical objects that are used to territorialize. However, based on the identification of these tactics, we propose that there is a potential in developing new mobile technologies, which easily connects with the local physical and digital environment that support territorializing, differentiating and rythming in new ways. 212
