With the spread of mobile augmented reality, it has become very
difficult to consider digital space and physical space
independently. In this book, the authors identify and discuss the
state 'Second Offline' which refers to a real-world environment
whose elements are augmented by virtual information and one in
which individuals are constantly referring to the online world.
'Second Offline' is observed across a wide range of social contexts
and the relationship between superimposed digital online
information and physical offline information is increasingly
important. This book analyses the cooperative relationship between
online and offline and also examines situations where there may be
a conflict between these realities. Furthermore, the authors
discuss the possibility that in addition to influencing the
physical space, the digital world actually causes some of the
physical world to be lost. Offering a discussion of the
implications of a post-mobile society in which second offline is
widespread, this edited collection will be of interest to students,
scholars and practitioners working in sociology, mobile media and
cultural studies more generally.
This book presents current research on mobile Internet society.
Past research was not able to show a clear analytical framework,
thus was unable to close in on the fundamental changes in that
society. This book, however, analyzes mobile Internet society by
introducing the concept of "doubling of time and place" and the
analytical framework of the "second offline." The emergence of the
smartphone has made Internet use easier, and now, people are
constantly using online information in the midst of their daily
lives. Our society is transitioning from the first offline society,
a society without being connected to Internet, to the second
offline society, where users are connected to the Internet at all
times. In this second offline society, our sense of time and place
are beginning to change. Broadcast and communication media have
made possible the overlapping of different places, which has been
called the doubling of place. Furthermore, virtual reality (VR) and
augmented reality (AR) technologies have enabled the overlap of
different times, which this book calls the doubling of time. The
smartphone makes both possible. With the second offline and the
doubling of time and place as keywords, the book takes into
consideration research that includes, among other topics, the media
usage of young adults, selfies, education, social media usage,
mobile games, work stations, and consumer activity in the mobile
Internet society.
