EU-US Workshop on Domestic Impact of Information and Communication Technology

这个关于欧盟-美国联合研讨会的提议将把美国和欧盟正在研究家庭信息和通信技术的活跃研究人员聚集在一起。这个研讨会很重要，因为许多国家的科学家正在国内研究技术，但由于发表滞后时间，他们不知道彼此的结果。本次研讨会将作为一个论坛，讨论技术在以下方面的作用：1)家庭行为，包括社会化、时间使用和性别差异；2)社会互动，包括互联网对社会资本和关系质量的影响；3)就业和新工作形式；4)国家在家庭技术使用和影响方面的差异。一个重要的产出将是一本学术书籍，记录理论和实证研究的现状。

This proposal for a joint EU-US workshop will bring together the active researchers from the US and European Union who are investigating information and communication technologies in the home. This workshop is important as scientists in a number of countries are studying technology in the home, but because of publication lag times are not aware of each other's results. This workshop will serve as a forum to address the role of technology in 1) household behavior, including socialization, time use, and gender differences, 2) social interaction, including the impact of the Internet on social capital and quality of relationships, 3) employment and new forms of work, and 4) country differences in the use and impact of technology in the home. One important output will be an academic book documenting the current state of the theoretical and empirical research.
