Seit seiner Einführung im Jahre 1983 hat sich das Mobiltelefon vom Prestigeobjekt rasant zum multifunktionalen Alleskönner für die breite Masse entwickelt und ist mittlerweile ein unverzichtbarer Begleiter. So wischen bereits Kleinkinder mit ihren Fingern über das Smartphone, Musik wird von den Jugendlichen auf dem Schulweg per Spotify-Streaming angehört, Zeitungen durch Online-Nachrichtendienste ersetzt und neuste Infos in Whatsapp-Chat-Gruppen diskutiert. Auch der Handel hat sich im Rahmen der Digitalisierung weiterentwickelt. Mit der Einführung des mobilen Internets spielen Zeit und Raum keine wesentliche Rolle mehr, der Online-Einkauf ist bequem rund um die Uhr möglich. Dies führt auch zu einem gewandelten Konsumentenverhalten. Die vorliegende Studie untersucht die Eigenschaften der Generation Smartphone, erklärt die Hintergründe der Digitalisierung des stationären Handels und leitet daraus Empfehlungen zur erfolgreichen Einbindung des Smartphones in den Handel ab.
"Smartphone Cultures explores emerging questions about the ways in which this mobile technology and its apps have been produced, represented, regulated and incorporated into everyday social practices, as the various authors in this volume each locate their contributions within the circuit of culture model. More specifically, this book engages with issues of production and regulation in the case of the electrical infrastructure supporting smartphones and the development of mobile social gambling apps. It examines issues of consumption through looking at parental practices relating to children's smartphone use, children's experience of the regulation of this technology, both in the home and in school, how they cope with the mass of communications via the smartphone and the nature of their attachment to the device. Other chapters cover the engagement of older people with smartphones, as well as how different cultural norms of sociability have a bearing on how the technology is consumed. The smartphone's implications for other theoretical frameworks is illustrated though examining ramifications for domestication, and the sometimes-limited place of smartphones in certain aspects of life is examined through its role in the practices of reading and writing. Smartphone Cultures presents the latest international research from scholars located in the UK, Europe, the US and Australia and will appeal to scholars and students of media and cultural studies, communication studies and sociologists with interests in technology and social practices."--Provided by publisher
Die Digitalisierung der Fotografie und des Films in den 1990er-Jahren war ein Paradigmenwechsel in Funktion, Produktion und Kamerapraxis. Chemische Entwicklungslabore waren obsolet geworden, das Warten hatte ein Ende - die visuellen Produkte waren umgehend verfügbar. Und dennoch - das Fotografieren mit einem eigens dafür notwendigen Apparat blieb besonderen Gelegenheiten vorbehalten oder war zumindest anlassbezogen. Doch dann kam das Smartphone. Seine Popularisierung bedeutet einen massiven Umbruch für die Welt der Bilder - eine Revolution, die Alltag und Freizeit, unsere visuellen Praxen, aber auch viele Berufsfelder elementar verändert hat und noch verändern wird. Nicht mehr nur das Fotografieren an sich, sondern vielmehr das Teilen von und Kommunizieren durch Fotografien in den sozialen Netzwerken bestimmt seither die Lebenswelt vieler Menschen. Die Kommission Fotografie der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Volkskunde widmete sich mit ihrem Kooperationspartner, den Staatlichen Museen zu Berlin, im Rahmen der Tagung "SnAppShots. Smartphones als Kamera" im Oktober 2020 diesem Paradigmenwechsel. Der Tagungsband vereint Beiträge von Wissenschaftler*innen aus den Fachbereichen Geschichte, Kunstgeschichte, Ethnologie, Empirische Kulturwissenschaft, Europäische Ethnologie, Erziehungswissenschaft, Pädagogik und Medienwissenschaft - ein Kaleidoskop zur visuellen Welt des Smartphones.
"This book reviews recent studies into smartphones and the news, and argues that the greatest impact on news of the smartphone as a dominant technological artefact is to shift it away from an authoritative, fixed 'first draft of history' to become a fluid, flexible stream of information from which each individual constructs their own meaning. The news has taken on a new life, fragmented by five billion smartphones, disrupting not just an industry but also the consequence of the news in societies worldwide. This book considers how the smartphone has changed the production of journalism through contributions from the general public, the dominance of visual over textual media, the shift towards brevity, the challenges of verification, and the possibilities offered by the multi-skilled mobile journalist, or MoJo. The book looks at the manner in which news is promoted and distributed via smartphones, specifically its place on social media. Finally, it considers how news-on-smartphones fits into consumers' lives, and how their use of the smartphone to access news is impacting back on its production. This is an insightful research text for journalism students and scholars with an interest in digital journalism, new media, and the intersection between technology and communication"--
With texting, emailing, and social media accessible via smartphones, bullying is more difficult to avoid than ever before. But kids don't need to feel trapped by or scared of their smartphones.

Since the advent of the smartphone, the practice of photography has clearly democratized. Indeed, smartphones have already replaced compact digital cameras which are declining proportionally to the development of our "photophones". Odontology does not escape this democratization, indeed photography has its place in the dental office. In this work we will see how to integrate a smartphone into a daily practice of dental photography. In a first part we will develop the shooting with a smartphone, in the second we will see the different accessories that can adapt to our practice and in the third we will talk about post-production and data transfer. ; Depuis l'avènement du smartphone, la pratique de la photographie s'est clairement démocratisée. En effet, les smartphones ont déjà remplacé les appareils photos numériques compacts qui connaissent un déclin proportionnel au développement de nos « photophones ». L'odontologie n'échappe pas à cette démocratisation, en effet la photographie a complètement sa place au cabinet dentaire. Dans ce travail, nous allons voir comment intégrer un smartphone dans une pratique de la photographie dentaire au quotidien. Dans une première partie nous développerons la prise de vue avec un smartphone, dans la seconde nous verrons les différents accessoires pouvant s'adapter à notre pratique, puis dans la troisième nous parlerons de la post-production et du transfert des données.

"We think we know everything about our smartphones. We use them constantly. We depend on them for every conceivable purpose. We are familiar with every inch of their compact frames. But there is more to the smartphone than meets the eye. How have smartphones shaped the way we socialize and interact? Who tracks our actions, our preferences, our movements as recorded by our smartphones? These are just some of the questions that journalist Elizabeth Woyke answers in this muckraking expose; of the $241 billion industry that produces more than 700 million devices each year. In the tradition of The Coffee Book, The Sneaker Book, Oil, and Cigarettes, The Smartphone offers not only a step-by-step guide to how smartphones are designed and manufactured but also a bold exploration of the darker side of this massive industry, including the exploitation of labor, the disposal of electronic waste, and the underground networks that hack and smuggle smartphones. Featuring interviews with key figures in the development of the smartphone and expert assessments of the industry's main players--Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Samsung--The Smartphone is the perfect introduction to this most personal of gadgets. Your smartphone will never look the same again. "--
