In this paper, we begin to close this gap by presenting findings from a study that examined the relationship between home networking and the house itself—and the work that results for householders as a consequence of this interaction. We discuss four themes that emerged: an ambiguity in understanding the virtual boundaries created by wireless networks, the home network control paradox, a new home network access paradox, and the relationship between increased responsibilities and the possibilities of wireless networking. %B UbiComp 2007: Ubiquitous Computing %S Lecture Notes in Computer Science %I Springer Berlin Heidelberg %P 127 - 144 %8 2007/01/01/ %@ 978-3-540-74852-6, 978-3-540-74853-3 %G eng %U http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-540-74853-3_8
