信息和通信技术日益渗透到工业化社会的日常生活中。本文的目的是探讨与信息和通信技术有关的日常做法的转变，并讨论其影响，特别是对居民用电。从历史的角度看待目前的社会技术变革，有人认为，将信通技术纳入日常做法可被视为新一轮的家庭电气化，与前几轮类似，前几轮也导致了更高的电力消耗。2007-2008年在丹麦进行的一项个案研究探讨了日常生活中目前的变化。在定性访谈的基础上，这项研究侧重于人们将信通技术纳入日常实践的方式，这些实践中的任何重大变化，以及这些变化对电力消费的影响。本文最后讨论了对能源政策的影响。
Information and communication technologies (ICTs) increasingly permeate everyday life in industrialized societies. The aim of this paper is to explore ICT-related transformations of everyday practices and discuss the implications, particularly for residential electricity consumption. The present socio-technical changes are seen in a historical perspective, and it is argued that the integration of ICT into everyday practices can be seen as a new round of household electrification, comparable to earlier rounds that also led to higher electricity consumption. A case study carried out in Denmark in 2007–2008 explores the present changes in everyday life. Based on qualitative interviews, the study focuses on people's ways of integrating ICTs into their everyday practices, on any significant changes in these practices, and on the influence of the changed practices on electricity consumption. The paper concludes with a discussion on the implications for energy policy.
