Comments on Constant Touch?
By Jon Agar, on 14 January 2009
I wrote Constant Touch because I was struck by how little was known about this object which, suddenly, we all carry around. Where did it come from? And why? Mobiles – cellphones – mean different things for different cultures. Yet it’s also a technology that makes the globe global, through the spread of standards and ambitions of companies. It’s also a technology which has never stood still, which is why my global history needs updating.
