Summary

The impact of cell phones on the way we live is undeniable; the precise nature of this impact is less certain. How are cell phones changing our environments? What is their impact on society? Could these phones be anti-social, even though their function is to connect people? These are some of the key issues that the book addresses. The Mobile Society considers the ways in which the cell phone has become embedded in everyday life. It focuses on mobile usage among young people, highlighting the ways in which it is shaped by existing peer culture, and examining the ritual properties of text messaging. It is an essential read for anyone with an interest in new technology and media as well as sociology, anthropology, and cultural studies.
