Vorell 330 1 $a»The editors of this volume do a superb job of coalescing the writing styles of many diverse scholars. The language flows smoothly and richly elaborates one's understanding through timely and interesting examples.« 330 1 $a»In fact, the book is engaging, readable and above all very interesting, spanning aspects of ?thumb culture? from ?the social and economic implications of mobile telephony in Rwanda? to ?Technological change and teenage life?. [T]here is a clear sense throughout the book that mobile phones have indeed come to mean a great deal for society, and that understanding this relationship is critical for understanding how we view current social attitudes towards progress, communication and co-operation.« 330 1 $aReviewed in:www.spiked-online.com, 1 (2006), Jennie BristowInformation, Communication & Society, 8 (2007), Matthew S.
