Ability to work from wherever I want. Home is wherever you are Home is in many places at the same time. I can be here and have contact with other countries in ways i couldn't do before Home is everywhere; reconnect the physical world. Boudewijn: Kids don't stay around the school anymore, don't share experiences with other kids Karina: Home sounds like my private home, personal, my own mind is my home. Camera's in the household, but we still like a private home. Turn all devices off and you have your own home. The only place you are in control. Lorna: First moving into a new home, it's not your new home. Will you ever lose that need for a home? Claudia: Carry your life in your computer, in your mobile phone, that in some sense becomes your home. Familiarity. Lorna: You can't digitize the place where you eat and sleep. It smells, has memories. Sensory aspects. Claudia: That's right, but if you move to a new country and have nothing, not even in your computer. Then it helps if you carry with you something that has pictures, letters, i.e. memories.
