“…Although at first glance it may seem that personal characteristics of mobile devices would strengthen the link between intimacy-related characteristics of media and social presence, mobile devices are usually used in public spaces where other people are physically present (Gergen, 2002), and the dissonance of using a personal device in a public environment has been found to remind users that they are not communicating face to face but through a medium (Höflich, 2006). Therefore, the relationship between intimacy-related characteristics and social presence can actually be weakened by mobile use of Twitter.…”

“…Forms of messaging available on mobile communication devices have rapidly proliferated since the humble 160 character text message, but the reliance on asynchronous discourse via mobile phones has only increased with the introduction of Internet-enabled Smartphones. Several research studies have explored mobile phones and manners (see Crystal, 2008;Green and Haddon, 2009;Hőflich, 2005;Ito et al, 2005;Srivastava, 2005;Turkle, 2008); however, there is limited research that focuses solely on text messaging. 1 This article builds upon this existing research to explore the relationship between text messaging, everyday listening practices and capacities of care.…”

‘People just don’t care’: practices of text messaging in the presence of others

The demands of flexible labour and the technologization of social networks are currently being felt in profound shifts in the ways in which we spend time with others. This article analyses the everyday communicative practices of adults living in Sydney surrounding their use of text messaging in shared social spaces. Asking the research participants when, how and why they rely on text messaging exposes increasingly routine transgressions of boundaries between different social spheres. While participants were acutely aware of largely unspoken social norms and expectations attached to mobile phone use in the presence of others, they themselves strategically used text messages to create layers of intimacy within shared social spaces. We explore the implications of this tension by highlighting how rituals of social interaction are cared about by social actors but play into a wider sense of the abandonment of care for the presence of others.

“…Measurement studies which assume that a single device represents an individual user would have very different results in these two countries. Finns are significantly more likely than Spaniards to turn away from nearby people when taking a phone call [16] -this may impact mobility patterns if some users move whenever they receive a call.…”

Conducting planet-scale mobility experiments and measurements is of great interest to network researchers for building the next generation of wireless networking technologies, or for studying interdisciplinary problems in complex networks. There are many technical challenges that need to be addressed before such experiments can take place. But at the same time, there are many non-technical issues that need to be tackled in order to preserve the welfare of participants in these studies. While some of these issues have been addressed in previous small-scale studies, they become increasingly complex when differences between countries need to be taken into account.This position paper highlights some of these issues and argues that they need to be addressed before planet-scale measurement experiments can be conducted. We discuss ethical, regulatory, cultural and privacy issues, and consider how to design measurement systems that will scale up to planet-wide experiments. We motivate our approach by discussing work in measurement of mobile and online social networks.
