商品描述

Description:

Has the cell phone forever changed the way people communicate? The mobile phone is used for “real time” coordination while on the run, adolescents use it to manage their freedom, and teens “text” to each other day and night. The mobile phone is more than a simple technical innovation or social fad, more than just an intrusion on polite society. This book, based on world-wide research involving tens of thousands of interviews and contextual observations, looks into the impact of the phone on our daily lives. The mobile phone has fundamentally affected our accessibility, safety and security, coordination of social and business activities, and use of public places.

Based on research conducted in dozens of countries, this insightful and entertaining book examines the once unexpected interaction between humans and cell phones, and between humans, period. The compelling discussion and projections about the future of the telephone should give designers everywhere a more informed practice and process, and provide researchers with new ideas to last years

手機是否永遠改變了人們的溝通方式?手機在人們奔波忙碌時用於「即時」協調,青少年用它來管理自由,青少年們日夜「發短信」互相聯繫。手機不僅僅是一個簡單的技術創新或社會潮流,也不僅僅是對禮貌社會的侵犯。這本書基於全球範圍內數以萬計的訪談和情境觀察,探討了手機對我們日常生活的影響。手機從根本上影響了我們的可及性、安全和保護、社交和商業活動的協調,以及對公共場所的使用。

基於在數十個國家進行的研究,這本富有洞察力和有趣的書探討了人類和手機之間曾經意想不到的互動,以及人類之間的互動。關於電話未來的引人入勝的討論和預測應該能夠讓設計師們更有見識地實踐和過程,並為研究人員提供新的思路,持續多年。
