The Social

A boom of various sensor options gives a mobile phone the capability for sensing the social context and makes a mobile phone an attractive “cognitive” platform, which has great potential to model and cognize human behavior. A review of the history, current state, and future directions of the cognitive phone are outlined in this article. An implementation example of a cognitive phone is presented, and a Location-Motion-Context (LoMoCo) model is introduced, to combine personal location information and motion states to infer a corresponding context. Future possibilities of cognitive phones in behavior detection and change are outlined.

From being a simple communication technology to a key social tool, the mobile phone has become such an important aspect of people's everyday life. Mobile phones have altered the way people live, communicate, interact, and connect with others. Mobile phones are also transforming how people access and use information and media. Given the rapid pervasiveness of mobile phones in society across the world, it is important to explore how mobile phones have affected the way people communicate and interact with others, access the information, and use media, and their daily lifestyle. This article aims to explore the social and cultural implications that have come with the ubiquity, unprecedented connectivity, and advances of mobile phones. This article also focuses on the discussion about people's dependence on, attachment and addiction to mobile phones, social problems that mobile phones generate, and how people value mobile phone use.

This study explores children's perceptions of risk and mobile phones in their everyday lives. Technological developments associated with capitalist society are entwined with the risk discourse, but little account has previously been taken of children's views in social analyses of risk. Based on the accounts of thirty young people in the UK aged between 11 – 17 this study adopts a social constructivist perspective to offer a theoretical framework which explores how children themselves actually use mobile phone technologies and understand and manage risk in their everyday lives.Implications of risk and mobile phones are reflected in current media discourse and contemporary public discussions. This research explores the relationship between young people's use of mobile phone technology and the wider theoretical debates about risk, technology and subjectivity. It provides insight into the social aspects of risk and mobile phones in contemporary childhoods.The children in the research were reflexive in their understanding of risk and mobile phones and actively managed risk through their mobile phone use. Their accounts highlight the complex, multifarious relationships of the heterogeneous networks of the technical, the social and the natural that constitute children's everyday lives.

Between the newsroom and the pub: The mobile phone in the dynamics of everyday mainstream journalism practice in Zimbabwe

Constructivist Approaches

This article uses an ethnographic case-study approach to investigate the deployment of the mobile phone by Zimbabwean mainstream print journalists in the dynamics of their daily professional routines and practices. The study’s theoretical and conceptual framework draws on social constructivist approaches to technology and the sociology of journalism to provide a direction for conceptualizing the interplay between journalists, their immediate context of practice and the wider socio-political and economic milieu that collectively structure and constrain the appropriation of the mobile phone. The findings suggest that the technology has assumed a taken-for-granted role in the routine operations of journalists and, in particular, that it is redefining traditional newsmaking practices. The article concludes that the cultural and social appropriations of the mobile phone by Zimbabwean mainstream journalists suggest that the technology has acquired new meanings in the social context of its appropriation. Its pervasiveness in everyday life has facilitated the blurring of the boundaries between the work and the private life of journalists.

The current study analyzes the different ways in which teenagers use their mobile phones, and, based on several theoretical conceptualizations, it provides an approach to the instrumental and symbolic dimensions of this form of communication, as well as the functions– ludic-expressive, referential and communicative –derived from it. The theoretical contributions put forward here lay the ground for further investigations on how minors use mobile telephony, the influences of new technologies on social relations and the responsibilities of the social agents involved, mainly families and mobile phone operators themselves. This work also intends to be a starting point for future empirical studies on the habits and new ways in which young people interact with mobile telephony, and the risks associated with improper uses of this new technology. El presente estudio analiza los diferentes usos de la telefonía móvil por parte de los adolescentes, tomando como punto de partida diferentes conceptualizaciones teóricas para una aproximación a las dimensiones instrumentales y simbólicas de esta nueva forma de comunicación, así como las funciones (lúdico-expresiva, referencial y comunicativa) que de ellas se derivan. Las aportaciones teóricas que aquí se exponen fundamentan una investigación más amplia sobre los usos que los menores realizan de la telefonía móvil, la influencia que las nuevas tecnologías tienen en sus relaciones sociales y las responsabilidades de los agentes sociales implicados en el proceso, fundamentalmente, las familias como educadores digitales y las propias operadoras de telefonía. El trabajo pretende ser, además, punto de partida para posteriores estudios empíricos centrados en los hábitos y nuevas formas de relación de los menores con la telefonía móvil, y los posibles riesgos asociados a un uso indebido de estas nuevas tecnologías.

This chapter investigates the use of mobile phones in Australia by 18 to 35 year olds in the Hunter region; more particularly how the social construction of mobile phone use is revealed in discourse and related to identity formation. Interviews, collected cultural artifacts and a Research Journal provided the primary material, and the method of Discourse Analysis was used to consider each source of information and to compare them. Choices of phone, wallpaper and ringtone are consciously used to express aspects of individual identity, adapting functions of the mobile phone and engaging with broader discourses such as fashion and sound. Many of these discursive practices with the mobile phone are adopted for pleasure as well as utility.

This study was conducted to study the growth process of silkworm eggs in a silkworm research center under the condition of no electromagnetic radiation and strong electromagnetic radiation. In the course of the study, the silkworm seeds were randomly divided into two groups. All the mulberry leaves were used to observe and record the time of molting dormancy growth and the related physiological parameters were recorded and recorded. The effect of mobile phone radiation on the growth process of silkworm larvae was analyzed. Based on the experimental results, the microcosmic mechanism of the effects of mobile radiation on organisms and adolescents was analyzed and the preventive measures were put forward. First, for young people as much as possible to reduce the frequency of mobile phone use, thereby reducing the adverse effects of electromagnetic radiation on the growth and development of young people, to develop good habits. Second, the social and electromagnetic wave management departments attach importance to strengthen the rational use of electromagnetic waves.
