From the wired to wireless generation? Investigating teens’ Internet use through the mobile phone

Why Are People Still Using Fixed Phones? The Case of Turk Telekom

“…This is quite logical that older age groups are likely to be slower in changing their habits, whereas young generations are expected to be more skilled in learning and adoption new technologies. Although there are several studies investigating young people"s use of mobile telecommunication technologies [5], [10], [18], there is a paucity of research in their conception of more traditional means. We suggest deeper research in understanding consumers" view of more traditional telecommunication services.…”

Wireless Internet Connection for Teaching and learning in Rural Schools of South Africa: The University of Limpopo TV White Space Trial Project

“…Through the use of ICT, learners and teachers can interact amongst each other and even learn from each other (Lin et al, 2013;Yang, 2013;Yoon et al, 2013;Fuentes-Bautista, 2014). International research revealed that about 60% of students use social networking tools to discuss class related issues which encourages learning outside schools and planning for the next lessons (Ahmadi et al, 2011;Marinagi et al, 2013;Rolando et al, 2013;Yang, 2013).…”

“…Seemingly, apart from communicating with parents and friends, learners use social networks as a platform to discuss school work. In addition, ICT can be used to encourage and support real life related problems for learning and teaching both in and outside the classrooms (Makgato, 2012;Han et al, 2013;Lin et al, 2013;Marinagi et al, 2013;Rolando et al, 2013;Tagger et al, 2013;Fuentes-Bautista, 2014). According to Han et al (2013), the uses of ICT in the classrooms capture real life situations better than print-base materials which usually present events in a linear format.…”

“…ICT assist students and teachers in developing critical thinking, data collection and analysis skills and further promote active class participation (Makgato, 2012;Han et al, 2013;Lin et al, 2013;Marinagi et al, 2013;Yoon et al, 2013;Fuentes-Bautista, 2014). The skills will assist both teachers and learners in solving challenges and problems that they face in their everyday lives.…”

“…Lately, the dynamic spectrum sharing which is enabled by geo-location databases has been used to increase the availability and accessibility of wireless internet connection (Ahmadi, Keshavarzi & Foroutan, 2011;Makgato, 2012;Carlson, Ntlatlapa, King, Mgwili-Sibanda, Hart and Geerdts, 2013;Han, Eom & Shin, 2013;Lin, Zhang, Jung & Kim, 2013;Lysko, Masonta & Mfupe, 2013;Mwangoka, Marques & Rodriguez, 2013;Rolando, Salvador & Luz, 2013). The need to increase the spectrum sharing is a result of the increasing numbers of new entrants in the wireless services markets which include machine-to-machine communications, internet access, amongst others, and the capacity improvements of current operators (Ahmadi et al, 2011;Mwangoka et al, 2013;Tagger, Trossen, Kostopoulos, Porter & Parisis 2013).…”
