The Nascent Role for Mobile in the Digital Humanities
Speakers
More than four out of five American adults own at least one wireless device, and there are now more mobile phones in the United States than televisions and computers, combined. Despite the ubiquity of the cell phone, we are still only in the infancy of adoption of mobile's more advanced capabilities in the United States, and full-fledged explorations of its use within the humanities. This session will feature discussion of the current mobile landscape and possible visions for the mobile-enabled future, with a focus on innovative uses of mobile technology in the arts, and the technology's influence on language, literature and culture.
