“…This study contributes to a nuanced understanding of the smartphone as a cultural and technological form by exploring both technological convergence and cultural divergence of smart media, which is a pressing yet overlooked issue in the mobile media literature (Watkins et al, 2012). From a socioeconomic perspective, the KakaoTalk-scape is in part an unexpected outcome of the phenomenal growth in Korea's domestic smartphone industry.…”

“…Theoretical frameworks: How to understand smartphones in youth culture caused a failure in exploring the smartphone as a medium of convergence and divergence (Watkins et al, 2012). In other words, the smartphone offers a media platform in which various practicescommunication and play in particular -converge and creates social space in which locally diversified production, consumption, and imagination emerge.…”

Drawing upon in-depth interviews with young smartphone users, as well as socioeconomic analyses, this study examines a localized media landscape emerging with the smartphone and its applications (apps). With particular reference to young Koreans' engagement with the popular local app platform, KakaoTalk, the study explores how smartphone technology is reimagined in a local context. The KakaoTalk-scape shows that smartphones and their apps are articulated with community-based local modes of communication and the rhythm of urban space. It also demonstrates that media convergence occurs not only between different media platforms but also between global and local media practices.

“…However, mobile phones have been considered as the portable form of fixed phones for communication media, before they have become helpful devices with high development rate in every part of life [1]. Individuals studying in this field can create games and social media applications on mobile phones.…”

Abstract:In last decade, expansion of mobile phones increased people's usage of these devices. In parallel with the increasing usage rate, the number of developed applications increased for mobile phones. Thanks to mobile phones, many different fields have been affected. However, the biggest contributions of mobile phones are orientation and location finder services. Although people spend major time of their life in indoor areas, usage of navigation systems must be outdoors since these systems get coordinate information from satellites. In indoor areas, walls, and any object in a building cause wrong results or block navigation systems. In this study, orientation and location finder services for indoor navigation will be done by using accelerometer, compass and camera that have been already included in the phones and augmented reality technology for iOS based mobile phones and locations will be provided thanks to beacon Bluetooth devices.

“…Indeed, many of the technologies, industries, and markets for today's smartphones derive from previous technologies, industries, and markets for audio media (Dimmick, Feaster, and Hoplamazian 2011;Farnsworth and Austrin 2005;Goggin 2011;Watkins, Hjorth, and Koskinen 2012). In particular, technological entities related to music are often forerunners and heralds of socioeconomic and cultural changes in arenas of mobile technology (Attali 1985).…”

“…Contemporary mobile markets are inextricable from so-called "smartphones" (Watkins, Hjorth, and Koskinen 2012) -devices that are essentially miniature, wireless, personal computers. Because smartphones are variedly convergent and rapidly evolving media, it is virtually impossible to offer a comprehensive analysis of such moving targets.…”

Mobile media: from legato to staccato, isochronal consumptionscapes

Mobile devices in the form of smartphones are transforming the temporality of consumption experiences, from languid and legato forms to isochronal and staccato forms. New communication technologies accelerate as well as alter mobile consumptionscapes. Rather than attempting to capture the elusive here-and-now essence of such fast-changing scenes, this essay invokes three historical episodes of technology and mobility -the transistor radio, the Walkman-style cassette device, and the MP3 player -to uncover the patterns that enhanced levels of mobility bring to the media consumption experience. In particular, by illuminating matters of time, some temporal framings are offered as correctives to spatially biased theories of mobile media. Drawing lessons from these historical episodes and blending in contemporary social theories about mobile technologies, we arrive at a temporally oriented view of the emergent consumptionscapes that can contribute to understanding the present era and the proximal future in terms of connecting both places and paces.
