Abstract
Our daily and professional lives are closely en-twined with mundane technologies, such as laptops, smartphones, tablets, smart speakers, and other touch- or voice-based interfaces. More novel technologies such as virtual reality environments and social robots are becoming increasingly ubiquitous in various institutional and everyday settings as well. As our commu-nication routines and interpersonal encounters become more reliant on technologies, our need to understand their effect on our social practic-es also becomes more apparent. While research and, in particular, media discourses on tech-nologies tend to highlight technological inno-vations, their possible uses and potential risks (Leick, 2019, pp. 95 –128), the impact of tech-nologies, both novel and more mundane, on our communication routines in social interac-tion has not been fully explored. The contribu-tions of this special issue will look at video data documenting how participants use and adapt to technologies in and for social interaction. This special issue therefore focuses on multimodal, i.e., both verbal and nonverbal, communication practices of participants in a selection of so-cial settings, both day-to-day and institutional, where various technologies, both well-known and more innovative, are present.
