Going Home

Cognitive Engineering

We’ve all experienced that feeling after a long, perhaps arduous, journey of finally arriving back home. In fact, it may not even matter if it was a trip down to the local supermarket or halfway across the world, the feeling of arriving back at home safely and securely feels universal. But have we invented this idea of home? In this week’s podcast, we discuss going home. How does the feeling of home work for nomads and those without a home? Does our concept of home change depending on how far away we are from it? We explore the idea of homeownership, shibboleths, privacy and Nick proposes a test for feeling at home based on the level of homesickness. Finally, we share the things we most look forward to upon arriving home.
