Mobile media from mobile phones to smartphones to netbooks are
transforming our daily lives. We communicate, we locate, we
network, we play, and much more using our mobile devices. In Mobile
Interface Theory, Jason Farman demonstrates how the worldwide
adoption of mobile technologies is causing a reexamination of the
core ideas about what it means to live our everyday lives. He
argues that mobile media 's pervasive computing model, which allows
users to connect and interact with the internet while moving across
a wide variety of locations, has produced a new sense of self among
users a new embodied identity that stems from virtual space and
material space regularly enhancing, cooperating or disrupting each
other. Exploring a range of mobile media practices, including
mobile maps and GPS technologies, location-aware social networks,
urban and alternate reality games that use mobile devices,
performance art, and storytelling projects, Farman illustrates how
mobile technologies are changing the ways we produce lived,
embodied spaces.
