dc.abstract.enThis article examines the role of technodigital objects in the homes of older adults (66+) in Warsaw, focusing on how smart and non-smart objects shape “aging in place.” Using Participatory Action Research—including in-depth interviews, VR experiments, and participant photography—the study explores how seniors use “wise” and nostalgic objects together or instead of smart technologies. The research highlights the interplay between “smart” and “wise” concepts of home. By analyzing appliances, medical devices, and nostalgic items, we demonstrate how generational habitus and accumulated wisdom coalesce with smart technologies in technodigital domesticity. Ultimately, the paper provides a nuanced framework for understanding the corporeal-material aspects of aging, showcasing the interplay of nostalgia and wisdom with smart technologies at home.
