Sommario/riassunto |
|
The fast evolution of the technology, social network services and mobile platforms have transformed the traditional notions of community and intercultural communication. This book presents topical research in the study of the technology, network and user issues in mobile phones today. Topics discussed include increased genetic damage due to mobile telephone radiation; mobile phone interfaces for collaborative learning in everyday life; the internationalisation process of European operators and mobile health services improving healthcare through mobile technology. |
