• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book surveys some of the broader issues associated with the adoption and use of mobile communication and explores developing areas of inquiry. Mobile communications are looked at in the context of other types of mediated interaction (e-mail, instant messaging, Wi-Fi, and landline telephone), demonstrating the uniqueness of this form of communication and how it is influencing the renegotiation of the social sphere. This useful survey covers such areas as mobile communication in public versus private space, cultural differences in mobile communication, psychological perspectives of mobile communication adoption and use and the linguistic aspects of mobile communication. This book also compares and contrasts mobile communication in East Asia and other parts of the world.
