Bullying Behavior

While technology can be educationally motivating for students of all ages, technology can also be a cruel tool in the hands of youngsters and teens who do not yet understand the implications and ramifications of remote and potentially anonymous communication. Texting and talking on a mobile cell phone encourages more uninhibited discourse than would likely occur in face-to-face conversation because the texter or talker sees no visual cues that signal the response of the recipient of the communication. Technology-enabled verbal bullying behavior, or cyberbullying, can become especially vicious, even threatening. This chapter will examine the elements of cyberbullying as a misuse of technology and especially as a misuse of mobile phones, its prevalence, and some of the reasons students cyberbully. The article will also examine the potential legal issues involved in bullying and cyberbullying. Finally, the article will offer proposed solutions to the problem, including the responses and responsibilities of school personnel, families, and the students themselves.

Indigenous Mexican immigrants (Mixtecs) from rural Oaxaca, Mexico, experience a high level of isolation and seasonal farm work, but the increasing speed of communication technology stands to overcome these difficulties. For farm workers, the initial experience of landlines and public pay phones was filled with anxiety and missed connections. Despite the benefits of mobile phones, their adoption was delayed among Mixtec in Oxnard, California, because of a combination of legal status, high cost, and seasonal work. This article finds that a surge in mobile phone adoption and use took place during a time where production of labor-intensive crops like strawberries increased throughout California, farm worker settlement patterns matured, and mobile phone plans changed becoming more affordable and easier to understand. The widespread adoption of mobile phones brought more predictability to the informal agricultural job market for farm workers, but this did not necessarily mean higher wages in the strawberry fields.

This article examines three films by the Swedish director Ruben Östlund: Play (2011), Force Majeure (2014), and The Square (2017). It describes the role of mobile phones in the films, both on the level of content and in terms of aesthetics. Within the films, the failure of the phone to connect the protagonists to significant others is seen as symbolic of an alienation that leads them to points of crisis. Here, the mobile phone works as a device in two ways. First, as a significant communication technology, and second, as a plot contrivance to advance the dramatic conflict. Critically, the mobile phone opens an uncertain space where subjectivity becomes increasingly insecure, precisely as it becomes fundamentally intertwined with it. There is a cinematic tradition of mobilizing this ambiguity to which this process can be connected. Further, the form of these works is considered in relation to the notion of traumatic repetition, and how this expands into the wider contemporary image-culture and the key influence of YouTube within this. Here, the films are considered in relation to the changing dynamic of the public sphere in the light of the mobile recording capabilities, that have come to shape an emergent cinematic aesthetic evident in these films.

Leadership is the method of persuading, empowering, and enticing people to lead to a start-or up's company's growth and efficacy in achieving its objectives. Online companies and innovative businesses that rely on digital communication technology, such as advertising firms, financial technology, and app developers. Strategy for Digital Leadership Leadership is the appropriate tool for assessing the degree of preparedness of adherents of information technology, beginning with the implementation and management of technologies such as software, programs, operating systems, and hardware such as mobile phones, modems, laptops, and touch screens, as well as job ethics and legal issues in information technology. Identifying followers' preparation for digital knowledge-based companies may be accomplished by changing the metrics of readiness and digital information proficiency in relation to the degree of followers' readiness for situational leadership.

This article reports on the findings from a field study of mobile phone use among dyads in public. Replicating an originally published field study from 2005, this study highlights how mobile phones and use have changed in the last 15 years and demonstrates the ways that mobile phones are used to both detract and enhance social interactions. Drawing on the notions of cellphone crosstalk and caller hegemony, we identify behavioral responses to mobile phones and the use of mobile phones by others, which help to manage both face-to-face and mediated social expectations of responsiveness. Based on observational fieldwork and interviews, we identify specific behavioral categories that demonstrate how social vulnerability and ostracism due to mobile phone use may be mitigated through parallel or collective mobile phone use. We also expand the original concepts of cellphone crosstalk and caller hegemony to mediated crosstalk and notification hegemony to account for contemporary changes in the sociotechnical mobile landscape.

Mobile forensic is a subsidiary of digital forensic that is flourishing constantly. As per current scenario, mobile phones not only mean traditional mobile phones that were developed and used in late 1990s but also include smart phones that offer an array of functionality. Mobile phones developed in 1990s also known as feature phones provided limited functionality such as calling and messaging as they were subjected to provide communication facility. But at present, mobile phones are used not only for communication but also for executing face to face interactions, shopping using various applications, trading and internet surfing, etc thus making mobile more feature-variant and making them smart. Since, mobile phone market is constantly rising because of increased and improved features; usage of mobile phones in criminal activities or illegal activities has also increased. The crime scene can be re-created by identifying the series of actions that has taken place when crime was committed by using compatible mobile forensic tools. Current attack could not be prevented, but the investigator can attain all crucial evidences present on the crime scene in order to reduce similar kind of attacks in future. The capturing and recording of crime scene, collecting and analyzing the evidence and finding the culprit and reason of committing crime is the art of mobile forensics. In this paper, we are going to discuss the implementation of proposed framework by using tool MOBILedit

This contribution is interested in the interactional management of mobile phone use in face-to-face encounters. Early observational studies of mobile phone use have emphasized the tension between the participants’ presence in “public” spaces and their “private” activities on mobile phones. This assumed dichotomy and possible conflict between different communication involvements will be revisited by using a conversation analytic approach to mobile phone use in video recorded everyday encounters among friends and family members. Three examples of self-initiated text messaging or calling will illustrate how and on which sequential (or other interactional) grounds participants frame their mobile phone use for co-present others. More specifically, the analysis will discuss how participants format and respond to announcement sequences or their absence, and how they can orient to the phone users’ accountability.

Further Development

Our study is a first step toward the innovative further development of mobile phones with special emphasis on optimizing them for business communication. Traditional landline phones and mobile phones up to 3G technology are known to trigger the so-called “telephone voice”. The phonetic changes induced by the telephone voice (louder speech at a higher pitch level) are suitable for undermining the perceived competence, trustworthiness and charisma of a speaker and can, thus, negatively influence business actions over the mobile phone. In a speech production experiment with 20 speakers and a subsequent acoustic speech-signal analysis of almost 15 000 utterances, we tested in comparison to a baseline face-to-face dialog condition, whether the telephone voice still exists in a technological setting of VoLTE 4G mobile-phone communication. In fact, we found that the typical characteristics of the telephone voice persist even under the currently best technological 4G standards and under silent communication conditions. Moreover, we identified further acoustic-phonetic parameters of the telephone voice, some of which (like a more monotonous intonation) further compound the problem of business communication over the mobile phone. In combination, the extended parametric picture and the persistent occurrence of the “telephone voice” even under quiet 4G conditions suggest that a speech-in-noise-like (i.e. Lombard) adaption is not the only and perhaps not even the primary cause behind the telephone voice. Based on this, we propose a number of innovations and R&D activities for making mobile-phone technology more suitable for business communication.

Information Communication Technology (ICT) provides an opportunity for farmers to increase their farm production.ICT is a diverse set of technological tools and resources used to communicate, disseminate, store and manage information. Different tools of ICT like television, radio, newspaper, mobile phone, etc were used by the farmers to get information. The demand for agricultural crops increasing day by day to feed the people. Proper information about weather, plant disease, soil, the post-harvesting technique can increase the productivity of the farmers. In the present study, all the sources were divided into four groups accordingly their characteristics. The four groups were face to face, other farmers, traditional media, modern ICT etc. Different factors were affecting in the use of modern ICT like age, education, farm size, traditional media, mobile phone. Some factors were affecting more in the use of ICT while some factors affecting less. Old age farmers relied more on traditional media than modern ICT. Farmers those who had large farm size were using more traditional media and modern ICT. Various problems were faced by farmers while using ICT. The present study tries to know the use of ICT and factors affecting in the use of ICT.
