“Smart, highly accessible and fully grounded in empirical research, this book provides essential insight into the role that smart phones play in young people’s everyday lives.” —Susanna Paasonen, Professor of Media Studies, University of Turku “Each chapter introduces current research on various aspects of the smartphone experience and provides insightful examples of how young adults evaluate and engage with these devices. Students will appreciate this very contemporary material.” —Leslie Haddon, London School of Economics In recent years, smartphones and digital platforms have become essential to our lives and are now inextricably interwoven into the everyday practices of millions, especially young people.
