摘要
The embeddedness of advanced information technology in daily experience and human routines is often overlooked in objectified or romanticized characterizations of cyberspace and on-line interaction. To understand the human context of advanced information technology, studying the full scope of related activities is necessary. Anthropologists must be adequately trained in technical areas to affect system design. They need a strong theoretical framework such as activity theory for studying technology usage.
