dc.description.abstract | The smart phone, or mobile device, holds a preeminent role in a technologically advanced society. These devices allow for connection, productivity, and distraction, and in doing so create new anxieties and underscore old ones. By tracing the provenance of this artifact, we see how our relationship with mobile devices amplifies our relationship with technology as a whole. This thesis examines the development of the mobile device from the viewpoints of social constructivism and technogenesis to illustrate how our increasing intimacy with these devices is part of a long-standing pattern of co-evolution between humans and the technologies they create. | |
