Yet, deployments of interactive technologies for such purposes often lead to a paradox: they algorithmically \"optimize\" heating and lighting of houses without regard to the dynamics of daily life in the home; they can collect and display data that allow us to reflect on energy and emissions, yet the same information can cause us to raise our expectations for comfort and convenience; they might allow us to share best practice for sustainable living through social networking and online communities, yet these same systems further our participation in consumerism and contribute to an ever-greater volume of electronic waste.By acknowledging these paradoxes, this book represents a significant critical inquiry into digital technology's longer-term impact on ideals of sustainability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten by an interdisciplinary team of contributors this book will be of great interest to students and scholars of human computer interaction and environmental studies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMike Hazas\u003c\/strong\u003e is Senior Lecturer in the School of Computing and Communications, Lancaster University.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLisa P.
