STREAMING: Volume 1; #Social Media, Mobile Lifestyles

ByMarcia A. Forbes

Streaming: #Social Media, Mobile Lifestyles artfully combines relevant & often humorous short stories to explain & support findings from primary research on youth engagement via social networks & mobile phones. How are Twitter, Facebook & phones changing not only how we communicate, but also our very way of everyday life? This book gives insights into youth culture in relation to communication technologies - what cell phones mean to youths & how they have become markers of social & sexual identity, texting versus talking, the concept of mobile lifestyles & the social ecologies of virtual spaces. Emmy Award winning Journalist Cliff Hughes describes Forbes’ manner of weaving real life stories into research data as “simply seductively brilliant”. Professor Verene Shepherd praises it for its creative approach to research & regards it as “engaging, socially aware, gender sensitive, funny & intuitive”. Professor LeoRhynie appreciates its “easily read writing style”, “rich & very interesting” material.
