In a world with more and more global trends and fast changing lives
due to technological innovations it is necessary to think about the
social aspects of these processes and consider their effects on
people's everyday lives. Much is said and written about the impacts
of mobile phones on Western societies but what about areas of the
world where technologies are still implemented, where the process
of appropriation is still going on, such as in rural South India?
To analyze the creative powers individuals have to integrate mobile
telephony in traditional ways of life was the aim of this paper. In
what way do innovations change the daily life of the people? How is
the mobile phone accepted in local communities? The most important
topics uncovered during the fieldwork in rural South India are
money saving techniques, like village phone operators, shared phone
use, and the practice of beeping, facts about direct personal
communication situations on the mobile phone, or the use of SMS,
and changes in the perception of time and space due to mobile
communication.
