About
The design and application of technology is ubiquitous in our everyday lives - from environmentalism to engineering, health and well-being to interventions, science to education. It is therefore important that we understand how the development and use of technology persuades, influences, and changes our thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and society at large.
Behaviour Change and Technology has been online since March 2009 and is an International and scientific blog that aims at publishing news and reviews on the design, application, and impact of information and communication technology. Its’ aim is to bring together lateral perspectives from a wide array of scientific disciplines, including philosophy, marketing, linguistics, computer science, psychology, medicine, and many more, to serve as a place to meet, learn, discuss and exchange experiences, and as a potential starting point for collaboration with other practitioners and academics.
