The wired home is not a new idea. Nor is the enabling the empowerment of elderly members in the name of technology. However this project heightens the importance of intimacy in the home with the prospect of multiple forms of connectivity with others. Multi-modal is one way of thinking about these heightened forms of social relations. Another is the daily experience of being elsewhere and in the company of spatially absent others. "Com-Home" is too predictable a title, though I see its import in the context of persistent connectivity. However "Come-Home", not too far a stretch, does concentrate the notion of the visitation, the welcome stranger or the geographically distant loved one coming into your presence.
