Speaking of Web 2.0 and mobile communications technologies
The Blog de Viajes lists this book as one to read. More for the impossibly long list of books to read...
In Mobile Technologies of the City Mimi Sheller and John Urry bring together a carefully selected group of innovative case studies which trace the emergence both of the new socio-technical practices of the city and of a new theoretical paradigm for mobilities research. The case studies on Vienna, Liverpool, Bristol, London, Tokyo, Paris, Los Angeles and Hong Kong, range across media, including guidebooks, web sites, train schedules, WI-FI, cinema, mobile phones, and mobile gaming, encompassing infrastructures such as road and rail systems, airline networks and hubs, internet routers and wireless "hot spots." The case studies also focus on urban sites including streets, train platforms, bus stops, airports, internet cafes, park-benches and cars.
Mobile Technologies of the City contributes new theoretical perspectives on mobility, communication and security in a world full of easily available access to physical mobilities and communication technologies
