Inhalt: Main focus of the seminar in this semester is on technology assessments in the field of smart home and internet of things. These key words describe a new dimension of human computer interaction (e.g. Alexa or Siri), new forms of technology-based communication and interpersonal relationships. Whereas smartphones, tablets and other devices and well as Facebook and WhatsApp caused obvious and significant changes in our lifeworld, the internet of things stands for rather subtle development: electronic appliances with internet access, personal wireless LED lighting, amazon echo, smart metering etc. The technology provides means to increase energy and resource efficiency. On the other hand, IoT involves data privacy and ethical issues (tracking, surveillance. profiling,…).
