Has the cell phone forever changed the way people communicate? The
mobile phone is used for real time coordination while on the run,
adolescents use it to manage their freedom, and teens text to each
other day and night. The mobile phone is more than a simple
technical innovation or social fad, more than just an intrusion on
polite society. This book, based on world-wide research involving
tens of thousands of interviews and contextual observations, looks
into the impact of the phone on our daily lives. The mobile phone
has fundamentally affected our accessibility, safety and security,
coordination of social and business activities, and use of public
places.
Based on research conducted in dozens of countries, this insightful
and entertaining book examines the once unexpected interaction
between humans and cell phones, and between humans, period. The
compelling discussion and projections about the future of the
telephone should give designers everywhere a more informed practice
and process, and provide researchers with new ideas to last years.
*Rich Ling (an American working in Norway) is a prominent
researcher, interviewed in the new technology article in the
November 9 issue of the New York Times Magazine.
*A particularly "good read," this book will be important to the
designers, information designers, social psychologists, and others
who will have an impact on the development of the new third
generation of mobile telephones.
*Carefully and wittily written by a senior research scientist at
Telenor, Norway's largest telecommunications company, and developer
of the first mobile telephone system that allowed for international
roaming."
