This paper seeks to examine how uses of Information & Communication Technologies (ICTs) are a part of the changes in sociability and life trajectories within the family sphere. The study is based on ethnographic research into three families in Brittany facing a turning point situation (birth of the first child, divorce and family blending after a dual widowhood). It will be seen how use of the ICTs contributes to the reorganisation of intra- and extra- familial links, supports the spatial arrangement of the home and, more broadly, helps to compose, decompose or recompose a family.
