Taken for grantedness: the embedding of mobile communication into society

摘要

Each day on the commute between home and office, I enjoy a measure of satisfaction at the complaints from some fellow commuters as our train enters a half-kilometer long tunnel and their mobile telephone, SMS, and social media conversations all drop out. In this book, Ling explores the changes that mobile communications have wrought on our society and how we simply take ever-present mobile technologies for granted.
