本文讨论了信息和通信技术（ICT），特别是它们的使用，在英国家庭报告1998年和2004年之间进行的研究驯化。所提出的问题与“数字鸿沟”的主导话语有关，在英国，数字鸿沟意味着以“有意义”的方式参与信息和通信技术，以确保英国有限公司（公共有限公司-在英国，这指的是其股份可以向公众出售的公司）的经济和社会福祉。这个首字母缩略词在这里被讽刺地用来表明政府将英国作为一个整体进行品牌宣传和推广的动机。利用理解数字不平等和“加深鸿沟”的框架，驯化理论被应用于讨论动机，物质和物理，技能和使用的访问在性别家庭，批判性地对比这种方法的“智能家居”的研究。这种定性调查有助于信息系统研究中被忽视的归化研究领域。
This paper discusses the domestication of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), particularly their use, in UK households reporting on research undertaken between 1998 and 2004. Issues raised are linked to the dominant discourse of the ‘digital divide’, which in the UK means engaging with ICTs in a ‘meaningful’ way to ensure the economic and social well-being of UK plc (public limited company—in the UK this refers to companies whose shares can be sold to the public. The acronym is used here ironically to indicate the motivation of the government to brand and promote the UK as a whole.). Utilising a framework of understanding digital inequality and the ‘deepening divide’, domestication theory is applied to discuss motivational, material and physical, skills and usage access in the gendered household, critically contrasting this approach to ‘smart house’ research. This qualitative enquiry contributes to the neglected area of domestication studies in Information Systems research.
