Love media. The Joy of Txt!

Abstract

The technology and ubiquity of the mobile phone is emblematic of our new media context. The rhetoric of the phone companies is of an ever more efficient and personalized future, which inevitably gives rise to critical concerns. However, commentaries on mobile, networked media culture can lack subtlety, tending often to be overly strict and nostalgic for some ‘better’ more connected form of communication and being-together-ness.
