“…Accordingly, communication partners through cell phones are likely to overlap those with whom people usually interact in person. Indeed, cell-phone use tends to occur within close relationships such as families, romantic couples, and friends, 10,20,21 and mobile communication is likely to strengthen established social relationships rather than extend them. 10,22 People maintain family bonds, facilitate friendships, and build mutual support through cell-phone communication.…”

This study examined how cell-phone use is related to interpersonal motives for using cell phones, face-to-face communication, and loneliness. A survey of 232 college students who owned a cell phone revealed that affection and inclusion were relatively strong motivations for using voice calls and text messaging, and that interpersonal motives were positively related to the amount of cell-phone use, including calling and texting. The amount of face-to-face interaction was positively associated with the participants' cell-phone use and their interpersonal motives for using cell phones: the more the participants engaged in face-to-face interaction with other people, the higher their motives were and the more frequent cell-phone use was. Loneliness did not have a direct relation to cell-phone use. Instead, the participants with higher levels of loneliness were less likely to engage in face-to-face social interaction, which led them to use cell phones less and to be less motivated to use cell phones for interpersonal purposes.

“…Studies have examined mobile phones can be used in any settings, including restaurants, grocery stores, buses, trains, and movie theaters for e-mail, text, find information, take picture, communicate, use map etc. (see, for example, (Ling, 1997(Ling, , 2002Murtagh, 2002;Campbell & Russo, 2003;Rice & Katz, 2003;Campbell, 2004) whenever you want and wherever you need. Considering the practically and popularity of this communication tool, it is surprising that appropriate and polite use of mobile phone is still unclear as there is no definitive set of rules for its usage (Elgan, 2010;Rosenfeld & O'Connor-Petruso, 2010).…”

There are more than six billion users of cell phones worldwide. The need for people to connect with others frequently is apparent in our society. People use mobile phones everywhere and every time, to call and text friends, surf the web, visit social sites and attach themselves to their communication devices at all times. As the use of mobile phones has proliferated in academic settings in recent years, new challenges are faced by institutions of higher education and their faculties. Research indicates that increasing use of mobile phones by the students in the classroom causes a big distraction, although all of the college students have their own mobile phones and all of them regularly bring their devices to courses. The prevalence and inconvenient usage of mobile phones in colleges has prompted college administrators to create policies to manage mobile phone use during the school day. Also there is a lot of support for mobile phones to be banned from colleges, but such rules are not accepted or enforced in universities. Actually, college students must have the ability to consider the advantages and disadvantages of their behaviors. This study enlightens the situation about use and abuse of cell phones during courses. This paper presents the result of a study conducted on 300 college students from faculty of business administration at Sakarya University to gain a better understanding of the frequency and manner of cell phone use in college classrooms. Focusing on the use of text messaging during courses, students reported on their own and others' use of cell phones. The current research reveals that minority of the students use their smartphones during class time to enhance learning, such as using their smartphones as computers to look up relevant information pertaining to the lesson, as cameras to take pictures of information on the blackboard or screen, as calculators, and so forth. However, majority of the students use their smartphones during class time for personal use not related to learning. One of the most striking result of this study shows that majority of the students distract their classmates and they will continue to behave this way, unless the administrators take precautions. ÖzetDünya çapında 6 milyonu aşkın cep telefonu kullanıcısı bulunmaktadır. İnsanların sıkça birbirleriyle iletişim kurma ihtiyacı duyduğu gözlenmektedir. İnsanlar her zaman ve her yerde, arama yapmak, mesajlaşmak, internette dolaşmak, sosyal paylaşım sitelerini takip etmek amacıyla cep telefonu kullanmakta ve iletişim cihazları ile bütünleşik halde yaşamaktadır. Son yıllarda cep telefonlarının eğitim ortamlarında hızla çoğalmasıyla beraber yükseköğrenim kurumlarını ve fakülteleri zorlu bir durumla karşı karşıya bırakmıştır. Bu araştırmada, üniversite öğrencilerin sınıflarda cep telefonu kullanmasının dikkati büyük oranda dağıttığının, buna rağmen öğrencilerin tamamının cep telefonuna sahip olduğunun ve hepsinin cihazlarını ders esnasında da yanlarında taşıdığının altı çizilmektedir. Cep telefonlarının yaygın ve uyguns...

“…Topics investigated included the capabilities and applications of mobile technology (Casademont et al, 2004, Giaglis et al, 2004 or individual usage and adoption behavior (Campbell and Russo, 2003, Meso et al, 2005, Monk et al, 2004, Puuronen and Savolainen, 1997 such as consumer intentions in mobile commerce contexts (Zhang et al, 2006, Wang et al, 2006. However, these studies tended to simply evaluate technology impact on or relationship with various research contexts and, as expected, positive suggestions were predominantly made.…”

Cost efficiency has been a dominant perspective in the traditional IT literature. However, in complex technology and business environment, the widely recognized cost efficient assumption of information technology has been increasingly challenged. Drawing from a case study of wireless network implementation situated in a politically sensitive workplace, this paper provided practice insights for IT managers in today's networked economy. More specifically, stories experienced in the case study illustrated that despite well-calculated cost efficiency of wireless network infrastructure, the radical implementation process in the case organization encountered enormous challenges and opposition due to the fact that administrators failed to consider various stakeholders' positions and interests. Eventually, the implementation objectives and outcome were considerably undermined. Implications from this empirical case research reemphasized the significance of understanding political forces situated in any business environment where different stakeholders hold conflicting interests. Lessons learned from the case story further encouraged IT managers and policy makers to better strategize emerging information technology in general and wireless networks in particular as the whole global society and business environment are increasingly facing an emerging wireless world.
