Product Description

Displacing Place: Mobile Communication in the Twenty-first Century addresses the innovative, unanticipated, and far-reaching ways that mobile information and communication technologies (ICTs) are altering how we work, play, and relate to one another. This extraordinary collection of new essays by leading scholars and professionals from a range of disciplines reveals the effects, implications, and future of mobile communication in a reader-friendly balance of theoretical and empirical chapters. Displacing Place is a vital book for students, scholars, professionals, and all readers interested in social and technological trends in the twenty-first century.

Social scientists mostly from North America explore the impact of mobile communication on people's experience of place and community. Their topics include whether cities will be displaced, the neurobiology of attachments in a society with ubiquitous mobile information and communication technologies, cell phone and cell phone plan advertisements, information and communication technologies and mental health, and the wireless newsroom.
