The goal of our study was to articulate the family communication practices of our participants with a focus on understanding when technology was used and why, and what social factors affected this usage. In this section, we point to design implications. We caution, however, that our implications are not focused on presenting guiding ideas for how to design technologies. We feel that any such discussion would be preliminary and speculative at this point. Instead, we suggest areas that present further design opportunities which move beyond the suggestions of previous work. We also outline the social challenges that designers will need to carefully think through when creating or deploying family communication technologies in Kenya.
