Smartphone Cultures (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Vincent, Jane; Haddon, Leslie

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Smartphone Cultures explores questions about the ways in which mobile technology has been appropriated and incorporated into everyday social practices, focusing on questions of how the smartphone has affected contemporary social relations. Presenting the latest research from the UK, Europe, the US and Australia, it sets out the context within which such technologies were developed and how they have been adopted and shaped to support lived culture. With attention to issues of 'prosumerism', parental concerns about smartphone use and the use of phones in and out of school, this book examines practices such as reading, writing, gambling and watching television on such devices.
