Studies conducted over several years in Israel explored social aspects of the developing mobile phone phenomenon. Using a variety of quantitative and qualitative methods the research examined the place that the 'Wonder Phone' has been occupying in many facets of life. It was concluded that the mobile is 'not only talk' - as a recent campaign slogan of one of Israel's mobile providers suggests. Rather, it is a medium through which Israelis define their gendered and national identities; it offers an experience of 'being there' and a security net holding family members and loved ones together, especially in terms of terror and war; and it provides a lifeline during existential crises around which rituals of mourning are crystallized.In analyzing the mobile phone as it is contextualized in Israeli society, two opposing social forces can clearly be seen: on the one hand, the mobile is an expression of late modernity and globalization; but on the other hand it is recruited as a tool - as well as a symbol - for the expression of locality and patriotic sentiments.

Mobile telephony has arrived on the scene.According to statistics of the International Telecommunications Union, in the mid-1990s, less than one person in 20 had a mobile telephone; as of 2003, this had risen to on p- son in five.In the mid-1990s, the GSM system was just being commerci- ized, there were serious coverage and interoperability issues that were not yet sorted out and handsets were only beginning to be something that did not require a car to transport them.In the mid-1990s, if a teen owned a mobile telephone it was likely an indicator of an over-pampered rich kid rather than today's sense that it is a more or less essential part of a teen's everyday identity kit. Hence, in less than a decade, this device has established itself tech- cally, commercially, socially and in the imagination of the people.It has changed the way we think about communication, coordination and safety and it has changed the way we behave in the public sphere. The mobile telephone has become an element in our sense of public and private space and in the development of our social and psychological personas.It has become an arena wherein the language is being played with, morphed and extended.Finally, it is reaching out into ever-new areas of commerce and interaction. All of this is, of course, interesting to social scientists.As brought out by Woolgar later, this is, in some ways, a type of experiment writ large that has engendered serious insight into the functioning of the social group and the individual in soc

Ais ich dieses Buch im Jahre 1920 zum ersten lYIale herausgab, folgte ich vielfach geapBerten Wiinschen, die von mir fiir die Firma Siemens & Halske geschriebenen Technischen Anweisungen iiber Wechselstrom-Leistungsmessungen weitesten Kreisen in geschlossener Form zuganglich zu machen. Bei dieser Entwicklung konnten naturgemaB nur Siemens-Apparate in dem Buch be schrieben werden. Da diese jedoch nur als Ausfiihrungsbeispiele fiir den im iibrigen allgemein behandelten Stoff dienen und sich die Fabrikate anderer Firmen von den beschriebenen nicht prin zipiell, sondern nur in konstruktiven Einzelheiten unterscheiden, ist die Beschrankung auf ein Fabrikat belanglos. Diese Behand lungsweise bietet vielmehr den Vorteil, daB das ganze Gebiet an einer einheitlich durchgebildeten Reihe von MeBgeraten be sprochen werden kann und daB statt allgemeiner Angaben iiberall festliegende Zahlen gebracht werden konnen. Um den hierdurch gegebenen Gebrauchswert des Buches zu erhalten, sind auch in der zweiten und in der vorliegenden dritten Auflage als Aus fiihrungsbeispiele im allgemeinen nur Siemens-MeBgerate gebracht. Im iibrigen ist jedoch das Buch seit dem ersten Erscheinen voll standig umgearbeitet worden. In der vorliegenden drittw Auflage ist der Stoff nach allgemein giiltigen Gesichtspunkten neu aufgebaut und gegliedert worden. Hierdurch ergab sich die Moglichkeit, das Gemeinsame der ver schiedenen MeBgerate zusammenzufassen und einheitlich zu be handeIn. So wird beispielsweise erst die Bauart der verschiedenen MeBwerke der Leistungsmesser geschlossen behandelt, dann werden die Ausfiihrungsmoglichkeiten der Innenschaltung und endlich die fiir die Messungen erforderliche Berechnung der Kon stanten in allgemein geltender Form gebracht."
