| Abstract | In this paper, we describe the design of an electronic family message board and the initial results of its deployment in three households. The message board was used as a “technology probe” to help understand the communication and coordination needs of a distributed, multigenerational family. Using this information, we are working with the family as design partners to design new technologies. |
