If the Internet has allowed us to broaden our social world into a virtual friend-net, the mobile phone is an instrument of a more intimate social sphere. The mobile phone provides a taken-for-granted link to the people to whom we are closest; when we are without it, social and domestic disarray may result. In just a few years, the mobile phone has become central to the functioning of society. In this book, Rich Ling explores the process by which the mobile phone has become embedded in society, comparing it to earlier technologies that changed the character of our social interaction and, along the way, became taken for granted. Ling, drawing on research, interviews, and quantitative material, shows how the mobile phone (and the clock and the automobile before it) can be regarded as a social mediation technology, with a critical mass of users, a supporting ideology, changes in the social ecology, and a web of mutual expectations regarding use. By examining the similarities and synergies among these three technologies, Ling sheds a more general light on how technical systems become embedded in society and how they support social interaction within the closest sphere of friends and family." 000485289 588__ $$aOCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record. 000485289 650_0 $$aCell phones$$xSocial aspects. 000485289 650_0 $$aMobile communication systems$$xSocial aspects. 000485289 650_0 $$aInterpersonal communication$$xTechnological innovations$$xSocial aspects. 000485289 650_0 $$aCommunication and culture. 000485289 653__ $$aDIGITAL HUMANITIES & NEW MEDIA/General 000485289 653__ $$aSCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY & SOCIETY/General 000485289 653__ $$aSOCIAL SCIENCES/Media Studies 000485289 655_0 $$aElectronic books 000485289 852__ $$bebk$$hMIT Press 000485289 85640 $$3MIT Press$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/8445.001.0001$$zOnline Access through The MIT Press Direct 000485289 85642 $$3OCLC metadata license agreement$$uhttp://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf 000485289 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:485289$$pGLOBAL_SET 000485289 980__ $$aBIB 000485289 980__ $$aEBOOK 000485289 982__ $$aEbook 000485289 983__ $$aOnline
