The development of home economics as a discipline parallels Industry 2.0 with technology appearing in early home economics research and curricula; introducing electrified technology, most often in the form of appliances, was a distinct and important role for professional home economists. While specific subdisciplines gravitated toward research focused on technology within their domains, such as kitchen equipment or laundry appliances, it could be argued that the fields of housing, interior design, and facilities management had an overarching responsibility to help individuals, families, and those in group housing best derive quality of life from household technologies developed by Industry 2.0. Communication was an additional technology developed during this era, however telegraphy, telephonic, radio, film, and television were never widely considered as under the purview of home economists, despite its clear presence in homes and its value to family quality of life. A search of articles in the "Family and Consumer Sciences Research Journal (FCSRJ)" and the "Journal of Family & Consumer Sciences (JFCS)" for the past 10 years resulted in 76 papers that used the word "technology" in the paper, 56 in JFCS and 20 in FCSRJ. These papers were pulled into NVivo (qualitative analysis software) to allow for qualitative analysis of the content. A word frequency query demonstrated that the most commonly used word was "use" (2,651 occurrences) followed by "technology" (1,938), educators (1,461), students (1,214), and learns (992). "Designs", "studying", "homes", "parents" and "university" round out the top 10 most frequently used words, which gives a clear sense of the focus of these papers on the topic of technology.
