This article presents the results of an in-depth interview of twenty Education students at a public face-to-face university in Catalonia on how they use digital technologies in their social and academic lives. The results show that while students have a certain level of competence in digital technology, the way they use the technologies varies according to their purpose. The results also show that social networks and WhatsApp are the most important applications for students, because they enable them to contact others, communicate with each other over long distances, and contact people with shared interests.

Users' acceptance of a new information technology (IT) is a determining factor of its market success. A solid understanding of the users' adoption process and use behavior enables a more robust definition of user requirements and better market alignment. This is especially important in markets characterized by rapid technological change such as smartphones. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) is often used to assess the factors affecting adoption of new technologies. However, TAM models often omit the role of important variables such as human and social factors in the adoption process. In developing markets such as China, cultural and social influences significantly impact the adoption and use of smartphones and related technologies. Similarly, Saudi Arabia has unique cultural and social contexts that may influence the adoption and use of smartphone technology, but as yet have not been studied in a comprehensive manner. Accordingly, the purpose of this paper is to develop the foundation for a theoretical research model based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). The case of smartphone adoption and use in Saudi Arabia will be its focus.

“…As the central intervening variable shaping the perceived performance effects was users' attitude toward mobile email, not the actual use. (Beurer‐Zuellig and Meckel, ) In a survey executed in international telecommunications company, productivity and work efficiency impacts of mobile office service comprising of mobile email, calendar, and contacts management client were explored in individual worker level. It was found that positive productivity and efficiency impacts emerged via the ability to execute tasks requiring rapid action immediately and from the better situation awareness and idle time utilization the mobile services enabled.…”

Mobile email is one of the first widely accepted mobile business application in enterprise settings that can be used by mobile phones. In this paper, a study about the role of mobile email as a performance driver in the everyday knowledge work of different business users in multinational information and communications technology enterprise is presented. Everyday communication task contents and volumes of knowledge workers were identified and analyzed by interviews, communication task diaries, and survey to understand the communication task goals and patterns of typical knowledge workers in enterprise settings. The study reveals that the biggest share of the knowledge workers' overall businessrelated communication (regardless of the communication tool and application) is centered on the internal communication tasks, and respectively, mobile email is used most intensively in the internal communications tasks. When comparing the relative importance of mobile email as communication solution for business users in different work positions, the study shows that mobile email is the particularly important everyday performance driver for managers who travel a lot and whose communication volumes in overall are extensive because of their role as central activity progress enabler for other work communities. Intensive users of mobile email gain more personal benefits than non-intensive users. The importance of mobile email is only moderate in the everyday business communication of those who are not in managerial positions. This implicates that mobile email as a business performance driver should be understood and evaluated by corresponding it with the internal process performance objectives and measures.
