Week 4 Review:The Global and the Local in Mobile Communication(All)

There is no doubt that mobile phone has changed our life alot.
The author has the case about mobile phone and peopel's life. In the article, he mentions about th division of public and private, and he says"Equally og interest is the discomfort users have with coupling the mobile photneto the body...". In other world. mobility of communication media tool, such as mobile phone, brought the change of the distance between the divices and our bodies, which made it closer. Compare with land phone and mobile photne, when pople call to land phone, they don't expect the exsact person would answer first. On the other hand, people have more confidence the person would grab it. That's why people say"Hi, my name is---. Can I talk with ---?" on land phoe, and say"Hi, how are you?" on mobile. In other words, the coupling the mobili phone and body means that we identify the mobile phone and users, and we expect people with mobile anytime anywhere. It is wired and still sounds like Si-Fi that "roboticarms", which movements are controled by mobile communication and machine attachment, like the author says. But it is true mobile phoen has changed our space, ideas and life style.Did we knwo or expect this change when mobile phoen came out?
