This session invites papers investigating the uses and social consequences of technologies such as wearables, apps, communication technologies, mobile devices, and social media in the lives of networked communities. We invite empirical and theoretical work that explores different dimensions of how people in various societies integrate these technologies into their everyday life patterns and rhythms. The session focuses on both the opportunities provided to networks from using technology and the ways in which technologies can increase well-being, social connectedness and health. The session also welcomes critical analysis of technology use by community members. Through the session we hope to gain a better understanding of the complexities of networked community life and its intersection with wearables, apps, and social media--by looking at diverse data sets and drawing conclusions across studies, cultures, and tools.
