Mobile Communication in the Age of Smartphones Processes of Domestication and Re-domestication
نویسنده
چکیده
With the widespread adoption of smartphones and Facebook, mobile users today have an increasing number of ways to communicate about their location; the practice of “checking in”, broadcasting one’s location to one’s network of friends, is one such way. Previous research has indicated that the social sharing of location information in mobile social media may have significant consequences, for instance in the areas of coordination, selfpresentation, network presence and social capital. An interview study conducted with 31 “ordinary” young Danish smartphone and Facebook users, however, indicates that the use of location sharing despite being well known, and despite the potential of the technology indicated by previous research, has come to play a relatively minor role in their everyday lives. This article explores in detail and discusses the discrepancy between the existing literature and this empirical finding.
