Really interesting paper called The Effects of Mobile Telephones on Social and Individual Life. "The receipt of a public call tends to be met by one of three responses. These are flight, in which users immediately move to absent themselves from their social situation; suspension, in which recipients stay put, but stop whatever they are doing for the duration of a call and effectively cut themselves off from their environment; and persistence, in which users stay put and engaged with the actual world, as far as possible carrying on with whatever they were doing before they made or took the call." |
