This project identifies implicit assumptions in contemporary IT design rooted in industrialized consumer culture through an ethnographic investigation of the arrival of broadband IT in Change Islands, Newfoundland, a remote, subsistence-oriented, working-class community with close ties to the environment. This exploratory work claims that the current drivers are inappropriately oriented towards a non-sustainable future, and the fresh perspective that a group of users whose particular needs and patterns of life are not well-known to IT designers can identify a more sustainable future for IT design. This project starts with the recognition that we must substantially rethink our relationship to the environment. The project develops an understanding of the marginal ties of this particular community to an industrialized consumer culture to highlight the aspects of everyday IT design which are predicated on industrialized orientations such as mass production and consumption of consumer goods and a disconnect with the natural environment. In response to this understanding, a design case book is developed to reflect a sustainable approach to human-computer interaction (HCI). Design directions that arise from taking Change Islanders? lifestyle and perspectives seriously contribute to the fundamental rethinking of IT practice which will be an essential requirement of sustainable HCI.

这个项目确定了隐含的假设，在当代IT设计植根于工业化的消费文化，通过人种学调查的宽带IT的到来在变化的岛屿，纽芬兰，一个偏远的，以生存为导向的，工人阶级的社区与环境有着密切的联系。这种探索性的工作声称，目前的驱动程序是不适当的面向一个非可持续的未来，和一组用户的特定需求和生活模式是不为IT设计师所熟知的新的角度，可以确定一个更可持续的未来IT设计。这个项目首先认识到，我们必须从根本上重新思考我们与环境的关系。该项目开发的边缘联系，这个特定的社区到工业化的消费文化的理解，突出的方面，日常的IT设计是基于工业化的方向，如大规模生产和消费的消费品和断开与自然环境。为了回应这种理解，设计案例书的开发，以反映可持续的方法来人机交互（HCI）。设计方向，从采取变化岛民？生活方式和观点严重有助于从根本上重新思考IT实践，这将是可持续HCI的基本要求。
