Technology enters the most intimate parts of life: whom we marry, how we care for the sick, and what we eat. A family WhatsApp group can sustain kinship across cities, a teleconsultation can bring a doctor to a remote home, and a food-delivery app can change who cooks. This chapter examines technology in family relations, health systems, and food, showing in each case how convenience, control, and inequality arrive together.
