Few modern innovations have spread quite so quickly as the cell
phone. This technology has transformed communication throughout the
world. Mobile telecommunications have had a dramatic effect in many
regions, but perhaps nowhere more than for low-income populations
in countries such as Jamaica, where in the last few years many
people have moved from no phone to cell phone. This book reveals
the central role of communication in helping low-income households
cope with poverty. The book traces the impact of the cell phone
from personal issues of loneliness and depression to the global
concerns of the modern economy and the transnational family. As the
technology of social networking, the cell phone has become central
to establishing and maintaining relationships in areas from
religion to love. The Cell Phone presents the first detailed
ethnography of the impact of this new technology through the
exploration of the cell phone's role in everyday lives.
