Interactional perspectives on technology focus on ‘the user’ and emphasize how people make sense of (and with) technology-in-use.
By putting ‘the user’ at the center of human-technology interaction, this cluster treats humans as competent and skillful practitioners in whatever activities they are engaging in (Garfinkel, 1964; see also Ingold, 2000).
Unraveling people’s shared practices for making sense of the(ir) world opens up for questions about the design/technology, and how it features within the local ecology of its users.
