New Tech, New Ties : How Mobile Communication Is Reshaping Social Cohesion

Attribution
Rich Ling
Publication Details
Book, MIT Press, 2008
Links
- Table of contents only
Description
The message of this book is simple: the mobile phone strengthens social bonds among family and friends. Ling finds that through the use of various social rituals the mobile telephone strengthens social ties within the circle of friends and family?sometimes at the expense of interaction with those who are physically present?and creates what he calls “bounded solidarity.” From this perspective, he examines how mobile communication affects face-to-face ritual situations and how ritual is used in interaction mediated by mobile communication.

Description
Digital technologies have fundamentally altered the nature and function of media in our society, reinventing age-old practices of public communication and at times circumventing traditional media and challenging its privileged role as gatekeepers of news and entertainment.

24/7 : How Cell Phones And The Internet Change The Way We Live, Work, And Play

Attribution
Jarice Hanson
Publication Details
Book, Praeger, 2007
Links
- Table of contents only
Description
Just as the automobile radically changed people’s lives at the beginning of the 20th century, so too has the revolution in online services (including blogging, podcasting, videogaming, shopping, and social networking) and cell-phone use changed our lives at the turn of the 21st century. Whereas the automobile allowed people for the first time to work in cities and live comfortably in the suburbs, extending the long commute beyond the limits previously circumscribed by public transportation, the Internet and cell phone allow us to interact with others from around the world–or a few hundred miles–from where we work or live, giving rise to the telecommuting phenomenon and allowing us to stay in touch with friends and families in the new virtual environment.

Attribution
Edward Tenner

Book, 1st ed, Alfred A. Knopf, 2003

Cultures@Silicon Valley

Attribution
J. A. English-Lueck
Publication Details
Book, Stanford University Press, 2002
Description
A specialized high-tech economy has drawn people from many countries, and the things that make Silicon Valley culture distinctive?technological saturation and cultural complexity?also define an emerging global culture, and in that context it operates as a natural experimental laboratory. Saturated by information technology and struggling to manifest civic life from deeply diverse identity communities, the inhabitants of Silicon Valley illustrate in microcosm the social and cultural identities of the future.
