The
participants in the project include communication theorists, philosophers,
psychologists, sociologists, economists, linguists, political theorists,
and historians of science. While in all areas of life we witness a radical
increase in the demand for mobile internet access, questions as regards
further directions of development are at many points open, and need to
be addressed by the social sciences. Contrary to earlier expectations,
the emergence of computer-based, networked, interactive communication enhances,
rather than diminishes, the physical mobility of users. The mobile telephone
is by now more than merely a device to transmit voice. It has become a
multi-purpose data transmitter - a mobile companion.
