>The book looks at socio-technological transitions and shifting roles  
>of users in the design and innovation of broadband technologies and  
>digital media. The different chapters aim to shed more light on the  
>‘black box’ of design and use of ICTs. In this way we hope to  
>contribute to the empowerment of people in their relationship(s) with  
>new media and - through this - to increase the quality of social life.  
>The title ‘Innovating for and by users’ refers to insights on how to  
>innovate by involving users more intensely in the design of  
>technological innovations, which can lead to innovations that create  
>more benefits for these users. The different authors deliver a timely  
>reality check on the current information society in Europe from a  
>users’ perspective, in a general (theoretical) sense as well as in  
>specific domains (digital television, e-publishing, care sector...).  
>This is done in an interdisciplinary way by integrating social science  
>views and engineering approaches. The findings are based on academic  
>and industry-driven digital media research in various European  
>countries.
