The availability and affordability of memory and other services formats to store digital material has proliferated over the past 15 years. Making, sharing and storing digital material is now a mundane practice that is part of a broader ecology of living with different kinds of data. This article examines routines of managing networked technologies in the home: digital housekeeping through three core practices of sharing and storing everyday data. The first, what we will call tidying, involves the everyday routines of cleaning up the mess of data through practices such as syncing material ‘in the cloud’, creating inboxes and manually moving digital data such as pictures and videos to ‘folders’. The second set of practices comprises more periodic, but deeper forms of sorting, spring cleaning. During digital spring cleaning, the focus is upon decluttering digital data by disposing, editing and other forms of curation whereby digital materials can be ‘located’ when desired in the future. The final set of practices, moving house, consists of the shift or relocation of digital data from one device or service to another. Depending upon the age and functioning of the device or service, this often involves changes in format to render digital data useful into the future, the realisation of lost data, as well as an additional assessment of the value of moving such digital material. Through fine-grained attention to the ways in which households live with digital materials, this article considers the engagement with and consequence of everyday data in our lives.

数字管家:与数据共存

在过去的15年中,用于存储数字资料的内存和其他服务格式的可用性和可承受性激增。如今,制作,共享和存储数字资料已成为一种平常的习惯,这是使用各种数据的更广泛生态环境中的一部分。本文研究了家庭中管理网络技术的例程:通过共享和存储日常数据的三种核心实践进行数字内务管理。首先,我们将其称为整理,涉及日常工作,例如通过“在云端”同步资料,创建收件箱以及将数字图片(例如图片和视频)手动移动到“文件夹”等做法来清理数据混乱。第二套做法包括更定期但更深层次的排序,春季大扫除。在数字弹簧清洗过程中,重点是通过处理,编辑和其他形式的整理来整理数字数据,以便将来在需要时可以“放置”数字材料。最后一组做法是“搬家”,包括将数字数据从一种设备或服务转移到另一种设备或服务。根据设备或服务的使用年限和功能,这通常涉及更改格式以使数字数据对将来有用,丢失数据的实现以及对移动此类数字材料的价值的附加评估。通过细致地关注家庭使用数字资料的方式,本文考虑了日常数据在我们生活中的参与和后果。
