When we consider the television, we think not only about how it’s used, but also it’s impact on culture. The television, tv, telly, or tube, became popular in the West in the late 1940s and early 1950s and was seen as a form of entertainment and enjoyment for the family. Other “technology” that assists with leisure include things like rubber-soled shoes, books, and other digital devices. In their new book, Enjoying Machines (MIT 2015), Barry Brown and Oskar Juhlin, both scholars in the Stockholm University Mobile Life VINN Excellence Center, the success of a particular technology can be measured by how well it creates pleasure. The authors argue that pleasure “is fundamentally social in nature,” and that to understand how technology supports leisure it is important to “produce a more sophisticated definition” of enjoyment. To do this Brown and Juhlin embark on an ethnographic investigation of technology and enjoyment that combines the sociological study of activity and the study of human-machine interaction. Over the course of their examination, the authors are careful to consider both the positives – enjoyment – and negatives – addiction- in relation to devices. Ultimately, Enjoying Machines offers a model of enjoyment useful for better understanding how to design useful machines. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ting synar den här veckan telefonen, en av historiens allra viktigaste pryl. Vi gör ett besök i London för att ta reda på vad det är som får folk att gå man ur huse för att rädda kvar telfonkioskerna. De röda telefonhytten som kännetecknar England är utrotningshotade. British Telecom hotar med att skrota 40 000 av landets kvarvarande 62 000 kiosker. Ända sen British Telecom privatiserades på 80-talet har bolaget försökt ändra kioskerna till modernare men hela tiden mött ett kompakt motstånd hos befolkningen. Det är någonting med detta röda metallbås med smårutsfönster runt om på alla sidor. Habegär och virtuella världar - mobiltelefonens framtid. Oskar Juhlin från Mobile Life Centre vid Stockholms Universitet i Kista pratar med vår reporter Malin Holgersson om mobiltelefonens framtid. Kommer mobilen som ting att finnas kvar?
