COMMUNICATIONS IN THE 21ST CENTURY
The Mobile Information Society
 |
The participants in the project, the first phase of which went under the title "The Mobile Information Society", include communication theorists, philosophers, psychologists, sociologists, economists, linguists, political theorists, and historians of science. While in all areas of life we witness a radical increase in the demand for mobile internet access, questions as regards further directions of development are at many points open, and need to be addressed by the social sciences. Contrary to earlier expectations, the emergence of computer-based, networked, interactive communication enhances, rather than diminishes, the physical mobility of users. The mobile telephone is by now more than merely a device to transmit voice. It has become a multi-purpose data transmitter – a mobile companion. Conference calendar: • April 28–30, 2005:
