Dr. Melvin L. DeFleur Distinguished Lecture: Sensor-mediated communication and the Internet of Things

COM 101

In this talk, Dr. Lee H. Humphreys will explore several theoretical approaches and methods of studying the ways that people adopt and integrate communication technologies into their everyday lives. Drawing on a multi-year interdisciplinary project, this lecture will describe a case exploring the adoption of an Internet of Things network in small communities. It will also identify different characteristics of sensor-mediated communication. The talk concludes with reflections about how we study various kinds of technologies with a communication lens.
