Raktažodžiai:
Looking at cell phones and the growth in information and communications technologies (ICT) from a social science perspective, this volume considers topics such as public and private spaces, peer relationships, new power relations, and our changing relationship to time. Green (sociology, U. of Surrey) and Haddon (media and communications, London School of Economics and Political Science) explore these issues in the context of increased usage and the growth in texting, camera usage and internet access. Chapters include summaries and boxes guiding the reader in "reflection." Distributed in the US by Palgrave Macmillan. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

The cellphone has achieved a global presence faster than any other form of information and communication technology. A global multi-billion dollar industry, this small, mundane device is now an intrinsic part of our everyday life.
 
This communications medium has had an immense social and cultural impact and continues to evolve. Talking, texting, photographing, videoing, connecting to a network of other media – the cellphone now seems essential. But, beyond the ways in which it has actively restructured our daily lives, the cellphone has changed our sense of ourselves and the way we see the world. The relationship between public and private space, how we view time and space, how we rely on and negotiate social networks – all are increasingly centred on this small piece of technology.
 
Mobile Communications presents a succinct, challenging, and accessible overview of the transformations and challenges presented by this most personal, yet most overlooked, technology.

Recenzijos

Drawing together an impressive array of previous studies, including the authors' own research, Mobile Communications situates the mobile phone in the context of debates about ICTs and new media. With a clear, accessible style, it summarises this emerging field, draws out important issues, and provides a key resource for students. David Bell, University of Leeds A well-organised survey... It will be of use to a very wide range of students studying any aspect of technological and cultural change. Times Higher Education Supplement (November 2010) The authors offer a comprehensive account of the literature, with key examples and 'case studies' Media International Australia
