Abstract

In this paper, we deal with roots and limits of "user experience" approach to address social concerns of ubiquitous computing. Then we give an overview of "social imaginary" theory, used to investigate social outcomes of ubiquitous system design for domestic space. In conclusion, we try to apply autonomy and heteronomy concepts to the practice in general technology and medicine technology.
