Displacing Place:
Mobile Communication in the Twenty-first Century Edited by Sharon Kleinman
This book provides experts'
answers to critical questions about how we work, play, live, and love in the twenty-first century...
How are mobile information and communication technologies--cell phones, laptops, iPods, BlackBerries,
and more--altering the way people work, play, learn, and relate to one another?
How are they impacting interpersonal relationships, communities, and the environment?
How are they changing urban and rural life?
How are they contributing to democratic discourse, social activism, and awareness
and understanding of current events?
How can they be employed to narrow the knowledge and socio-economic status
divides?
How are people using, modifying, and resisting them to meet changing needs, desires, and values?
How can we promote environmental and human health in all places as we continue to imaginatively devise
and adopt technologies for displacing place? |
