This article proposes the concept of anticipated affordances as an analytical supplement to affordance theory. 'Anticipated affordances' refers to how actors anticipate or speculate on a technology's affordances before they have any direct use experience with it. To demonstrate the consequences of such speculation on the social life of new technologies, the article analyses why teachers in Norwegian schools have expressed scepticism towards AV1: a telepresence robot meant to reconnect 'homebound' children with their school. Drawing on qualitative interviews, the article finds that teachers anticipated three undesirable affordances from having AV1 in their classrooms: peeping, broadcasting, and parental auditing. The article also discusses how these anticipations intersected with issues of domestication, gatekeeping and experiences of AV1's actual affordances. In sum, the article advances anticipated affordances as a central topic of inquiry for new media studies, which can complement existing analytical foci and shed new light on the (non)adoption of technology.

Nine wild dogs, Canis f. familiaris, radio-tracked over periods of 28-61 days in Kosciusko National Park,
N.S.W., occupied home ranges of 220-5420 ha (mean 2193 ha). These home ranges were similar in size
to those observed for dingoes, C. f. dingo, in other areas of south-eastern Australia. The maximum
distance that any of the nine dogs moved between successive daily locations was 11.2 km. On the basis
of this information and that obtained by others, we suggest that the control of wild dogs on Crown
Land in south-eastern Australia should be confined to those areas adjacent to private grazing land.
Furthermore, a control zone 12-20 km wide should be adequate.
Two successive trail-baiting campaigns with 1080 poison in March and April 1982 killed only two
(22%) of the nine wild dogs carrying radio transmitters. Traps, in comparison, caught 15 out of 27 (56%)
of the dogs known to be in the area. The main factors which reduced the success of the poisoning
campaign were the rapid loss of toxicity of the baits after their distribution, the rapid rate at which
they were removed by other animals, particularly foxes Vulpes vulpes and birds, and the dogs' apparent
preference for natural prey.
