Abstract

ABSTRACT People who are simultaneously embedded into multiple countries are referred to as transnationals. We have investigated the influence of information and communications technology (ICT) on the transnational communities of Estonia, one of the world’s frontline countries when it comes to technological usage. We conducted interviews with Estonians who permanently live abroad to discover how ICT helps them stay connected with their country of origin. Transnational Estonians ensure the continuance of their connections via ICT. Thus, they directly participate in their home countries via ‘ways of being active,’ which strengthens their transnational identities.
