There has been multi-disciplinary interest in the 'digital age', 'information age', and 'technoculture' in years, with information and communication technologies, particularly the internet, being commonly associated with a variety of dramatic social and cultural changes. This book is about the dynamics of 'digital cultures'.

How do common household items such as basic plastic house wares or high-tech digital cameras transform our daily lives? This title considers this question, from the design of products through to their use in the home. It looks at how everyday objects, ranging from screwdrivers to photo management software, are used on a practical level.

* The first book to focus on the changes digital technologies have made on the production, circulation and consumption of photography. * Considers a range of digital cameras and their contexts, from prosumer SLRs to cameras embedded in mobiles.
