Field lab: Entrepreneurial and innovative ventures ; The following work project illustrates the opportunities and threats of the industry for the launch of a smartphone app. In the first part, the technological and economic contextual drivers are analyzed in-depth through the study of key variables for the proliferation of the industry. In the second part, the characteristics of the market are exposed through a market assessment including an analysis of the industry rivalry and industry mapping. The political, legal and ethical concerns emergent from the launch of a new smartphone app are then illustrated with the use of two case studies.
Menschen, die auf Displays starren. - Das Smartphone ist binnen kürzester Zeit zu einem unentbehrlichen Medium des Selbst- und Weltbezugs für viele Menschen geworden. Alltägliche Szenen des nicht-bewussten, weitgehend habitualisierten Gebrauchs künden hiervon.Timo Kaerlein unternimmt die Beschreibung, Historisierung und Kritik dieses Komplexes nahkörperlicher Computernutzung, der seit ca. Mitte der 2000er Jahre mit der ubiquitären Verbreitung des Smartphones aufkam. Die medienanthropologische Perspektive beleuchtet neue Aspekte des vermeintlich vertrauten Objekts - darunter etwa die häufig der Sichtbarkeit entzogenen Kontrollinfrastrukturen dieser personalisierten Überwachungstechnologie.

"Hanging out" and establishing "rapport" is an essential part of the ethnographic encounter in anthropology. But what happens when the smartphone, seemingly a distraction from the relationship in the making, creates a wall between the anthropologist and the interlocutor? While smartphones have been widely explored as a media technology used by the interlocutors, or as research tools, their affective grip on the researchers themselves has received less attention to date. Based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted with visitors of two youth centers in Vienna, Austria, in 2019, I argue that the moment when the smartphone becomes part of the affective triad, alongside the researcher and the interlocutor, also presents a window on the entanglement of digital technologies with everyday life. Moreover, affective ripples emerging from such irritations also expose underlying assumptions about how ethnographic encounters should ideally proceed and what constitutes rapport and "good" ethnographic relationships, seemingly a prerequisite for successful ethnographies. Hence, affective entanglements and irritations that arise in this context are not disturbances to be discarded or smoothed over in the ethnographic narratives. While the smartphone appears to impair the ethnographic encounter at first, its designed porosity allows the researcher to develop a particular sensitivity to issues of rapport, consent, and privacy, and to negotiate the space of potentiality of ambiguous, door-like situations, thus becoming a methodological blessing rather than a curse.
"This book offers a unique model for understanding the cognitive underpinnings, interactions and discursive effects of our evolving use of smartphones in everyday app-mediated communication, from text messages and gifs to images, video and social media apps. Adopting a cyberpragmatics framework, grounded in cognitive pragmatics and relevance theory, it gives attention to how both the particular interfaces of different apps and users' personal attributes influence the contexts and uses of smartphone communication. The communication of emotions - in addition to primarily linguistic content - is foregrounded as an essential element of the kinds of ever-present paralinguistic and phatic communication that characterizes our exchange of memes, gifs, "likes", and image- and video-based content. Insights from related disciplines such as media studies and sociology are incorporated as the author unpacks the timeliest questions of our digitally mediated age. Aimed primarily at scholars and graduate students of communication, linguistics, pragmatics, media studies and sociology of mass media, Smartphone Communication traffics in topics that will likewise engage upper-level undergraduate students"--
Ageing with Smartphones in Uganda is based on a 16-month ethnography about experiences of ageing in a neighbourhood in a diverse neighbourhood in Kampala, Uganda. It examines the impact of smartphones and mobile phones on older people's health and everyday lives as part of the global 'Anthropology of Smartphones and Smart Ageing' project. In taking the lens of the smartphone to understand experiences of ageing in this context, the monograph presents the articulation and practice of 'togetherness in the dotcom age'. Taking a 'convivial' approach, which celebrates multiple ways of knowing about social life, Charlotte Hawkins draws from these expressions about cooperative morality and modernity to consider the everyday mitigation of profound social change. 'Dotcom' is understood to encompass everything from the influence of social media to urban migration and lifestyles in the city, to shifts in ways of knowing and relating. At the same time, dotcom tools such as mobile phones and smartphones facilitate elder care through, for example, regular mobile money remittances. This book explores how dotcom relates to older people's health, in particular their care norms, social standing, values of respect and relatedness, and intergenerational relationships – both political and personal. It also re-frames the youth-centricity of research on the city and work, new media and technology, politics and service provision in Uganda. Through ethnographic consideration of everyday life and self-formation in this context, the monograph seeks to contribute to an ever-incomplete understanding of how we relate to each other and to the world around us.
Human behaviour analysis through smartphone devices has been an active field for more than a decade and there are still a lot of key aspects to be addressed. This paper surveys the state-of-the-art in human behaviour analysis based on smartphones. We categorise prior works into four main sensing modalities related to physical, cognitive, emotional and social behaviour. Finally, we conclude with the outcomes of this survey and we illustrate our ideas for future research in the area of human behaviour understanding. ; This work has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under Grant Agreement #769553.

Using the smartphones is very important for everyone, not only limited to adults but also children. Given the current conditions that are currently in a period of a pandemic, the government calls for a learning process from home. Likewise, adults who work from home to reduce the impact of covid transmission 19. All government policies that require people to work or study from home inevitably make most people have to use smartphones to work or to carry out the learning process. This makes people not separated from smartphones and certainly will have a serious impact on the lives of individuals, especially children, which can lead to smartphone addiction (smartphone addiction). Smartphone addiction is a smartphone attachment behavior accompanied by a lack of control and harms the individual. Children who have the task of developing learning while playing at their age, are currently losing playing time, and are only busy with smartphones to do their playing activities because from smartphones there are many interesting things or content that can make children feel at home and take a long look at the spectacle on their smartphone Keywords: Smartphone addiction, family, parents.
