Reflecting upon the anything, anywhere anytime paradigm, we can see how Wayne really lives out this vision much of the time, e.g. being able to see the stock market information even while in the shower. Whereas others, Lisa and Jane and Brian commuting between their flat and their holiday house actively resist this in much of their tactics of differentiating. Thus while some, e.g. Wayne practices this lifestyle others resist it. When looking to the role of technology in the lives of the people we studied we find that today’s technology is actually quite good at supporting bubbling and connecting (as can also be seen from the pictures in sections 4.1.2 and 4.1.4). Although noticeably the kind of bubbling supported by mobile phones and laptops is very individualized. One could imagine the value of bubbles, where it is possible to invite others in. Furthermore as can be seen in the presentation of the tactics people deploy a range of these in their efforts to make homely places; this aspect should also be considered when taking departure in tactics as a resource for design 7. FUTURE WORK Our aim is to learn from the studies and turn the tactics into strategies for design. We do not wish to simplify the tactics by making them into seven categories, but use the richness of the material to understand and explore the tactics and transform them into design for homing. The reason for conducting the empirical studies is to turn it into innovative and relevant design. We learned about the tactics from the experienced lead users, living in several houses and traveling over and over again. Their tactics and solutions can then be inspiration for design that other people living fragments of modern nomad lifestyle can gain from. Next step is to develop concrete design and to bring the design proposals back into context, which are not the initial contexts, but more of a target group audience. Such as frequent travelers living some of the modern nomad lifestyle. This will be done through dialogues about design proposals and later bringing in tangible experience prototypes that can be assessed through everyday use sessions. 213
8. CONCLUSION In this paper we point to the perspective of homing as an activity to complement the prevalent perspective of home as house, and to give a new perspective to the discourse on the mobile, place-‐less and nomadic lifestyles. We have presented the analysis of an ethnographic study, a fieldwalk, of five very different people who in various ways trying to make homely places. Through analysis of the material we have identified seven tactics, which people deploy to various degree and in various combinations in their homing activities. We have discussed the limitations in current mobile technologies in terms of supporting these different tactics, and we have argued that there is room for designing mobile technologies that provide better support for territorializing spaces, for differentiating between spaces and for rhythming. 9.
