Abstract
This paper refers to a broad mix of theory to do with the 1990s rise of mobile telephony among many teens in developed Western societies, implications for self and others, relations with family, and dependence versus independence. The paper takes careful note of how a 'global' trend is NOT universal and that those with access to cell phones in developing countries are found to engage in business, as opposed to being used by teenagers.
From the Paper
"The Mobile Telephone Culture of 21st Century Teenagers Introduction This paper discusses the phenomenon of teen mobile telephone use that has normalized through the last decade in much of the developed world, and elsewhere, in cases of being able to afford a mobile telephone. Trends are reviewed, the possible implications of mobile telephones, and then, a prediction for the future. Ling has referred to, "the establishment of a culture of mobile telephony", among teenagers as opposed to adults. Teens tend to be perfectly adjusted to the everyday use of a medium that adults are more apt to view as a workday necessity."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The future of mobile telephony is closely linked to services. Users are required to purchase new phones with new technical features for the large-scale diffusion of service platforms and the adoption of increasingly advanced services. The survey in this paper indicates, however, that services are not such an important reason for consumer purchases of new mobile phones. In this paper, the authors have chosen a different approach, in which they look at the reasons consumers have bought their recent mobile phones in Finland. Instead of relying on the hopes and expectations of the future, they focus on individual consumer interpretations of past behavior. The paper, first, briefly describes the peculiarities of the Finnish mobile market.Then it looks at how the survey was carried out and what kinds of results were obtained. Finally it discusses the relevance of the results for the evolution of mobile services. The paper includes tables.

From the Paper
"The visions of mobile telephony are closely linked to services, gaming, multimedia and mCommerce. For the large scale diffusion of these innovations and applications, users are required to purchase new phones with new features (Kalakota & Robinson 2002, Lindmark 2002). GPRS, Java and Symbian applications are new parts of the contemporary infrastructure in Europe, but even this infrastructure is going to evolve rapidly in the near future. This means that a user with a phone bought today is not likely to be able to take full advantage of the state-of-the-art mobile features and services a few years from now. Correspondingly, the new features and services will not be commercially successful if only few consumers purchase appropriate phones."

Abstract
This informative paper discusses the pros and cons to the recent approach in employment known as the freelancer or mobile worker. Among the advantages of being mobile is the flexibility and freedom offered versus being tied down to a formal office. Freelance and mobile workers are viewed as more projects oriented and flexible enough to fit into almost any situation employers can imagine. This paper explores the cost saving elements in outsourcing which is in fact more profitable, resulting in savings that are passed on to the consumer. This paper also describes the staffing process for mobile workers, which is a simple plan of screening applicants from various sources, as well as the pitfalls to avoid.
Topics covered in this report include:

From the Paper
"Among the advantages of being, mobile or working from an undefined location is the freedom being offered versus the tied down to a formal office, sales or various other locations. By this, it means that the "Mobile Worker," quite often works from either their homes or their vehicles and more often than not some combination of the two. Furthermore, this freedom has great assets to offer the worker where it comes to having time to spend with family at critical junctures in their daily lives. This one advantage alone for many makes this form of working the career path of choice and the workforce in this area is growing exponentially monthly consequently."

"The field of Telecommunications can be described as a science and a technology (Kleiner and Polak, 2001). The science it particular describes is the science of communication over distances of electronic waves (Kleiner and Polak, 2001). Telecommunication can occur through cables and telephones, through radio or televisions (Kleiner and Polak, 2001). The telecommunications industry is ever changing, described best by fierce competition and state of the art technology (Kleiner and Polak, 2001)."

Abstract
This paper discusses the many industries that have already adopted the mobile worker model and the new technology that has facilitated the development of mobile offices and fully mobile workers, particularly in the finance and IT sectors. It mentions the benefits mobility has for the worker, such as personal freedom, industry/knowledge relevance and schedule flexibility. If the mobile worker's productivity can be effectively managed by the use of communication devices and an organizational culture of accountability, the mobile worker can be just as effective at his or her job as the traditional office employee.

The Telephone, 2002.
An overview of the history and the technological development of the telephone over the years.

Abstract
This paper will examine the history and development of the telephone, from its early foundations in telegraph technology to its modern incarnation in cell networks and telepresence. It will be seen how, although based in part on telegraph technology, the invention of the telephone represented a fundamental shift in innovative thinking that was primarily due to the insight of two men: Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Watson. It will be shown that - from the invention of phone "ringing" to the telephone booth - the developers of the telephone (initially inside, and later outside, of the Bell company) have diverted considerable resources toward engineering easy public use and comfort with this technology. This, more than anything else, accounts for the ubiquitous nature of the telephone in modern life.

Abstract
This study focuses upon observations of mobile phone use and the ways in which users employ their mobile phones while socially involved in a group or pair. The controversial technological determinist Marshall McLuhan claimed that ?all media work us over completely? (McLuhan, 2001:26). The aim of this paper is to investigate to what extent this is true with regard to the mobile phone and to look at how users select calls when in the presence of others using the affordances and constraints of the technology. The degree to which the mobile phone became a part of the social context and in particular the way in which participants in a group or pair responded to the interruption of a mobile phone conversation is the central focus of the study.
From the Paper
"To help analyse the observations it is important that we have an understanding of the different identities involved in a telephone conversation and their role in progression. The terms used by most academics when analysing data are that of the ?caller?, ?answerer? and ?called?. Hutchby considers the answerer of the telephone call at a disadvantage. In Conversation and Technology he notes ?the caller knows who they are trying to call, and why they are doing so? the answerer knows nothing on either count? (Hutchby, 2001: 111). Whilst I support this model, I would like to propose that the extent to which this concept is true has changed with the invention of the mobile phone. The possibility to monitor then selectively answer or reject incoming calls by using the caller identification function featured on most mobile phones has changed the traditional role of answerer."

Abstract
This paper describes the invention of the telephone and its impact on modern society. The discussion investigates three ways in which the widespread adoption of the telephone changed society. The author examines the changes in the mode of communication and government regulations, commerce and automation, and the Internet. A brief history of life before the telephone is presented. The author concludes that the widespread adoption of the telephone paved the way for the advent of the most comprehensive source for information, business and entertainment that the world has ever known--the Internet.
From the Paper
"Before the telephone was invented the telegraph was one of the ways that people communicated. People also sent letters to one another. However, Alexander Graham Bell's was able to invent a device that allowed the human voice to travel over distances via an electric current. According to McMaster (2002) the telephone was presented to the public at the Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia in 1876."

From the Paper
"For the need of healthcare industry, care providers have been implementing mobile health care projects, which provide inherent mobile workflow of the clinical environment, an absolute must for physician adoption and usage of any technology. Wireless mobile technology is definitely headed towards success in the healthcare industry owing to the technologies and benefits provided above. But we need to realize that organizational and cultural issues except for technology itself at the same time. For example, there are many articles describing the successful implementation of wireless technology in clinics and hospitals nationwide, some of them have been explored in this paper; however, there is also lack of studies measuring the Return on Investment (ROI) of implementing wireless mobile solution in healthcare. The few that exist have been conducted by the vendors of the wireless technology themselves and are likely to be biased on the positive side for obvious reason. Thus more researches and studies need to be conducted and more evidence needs to be gathered about the impact of wireless systems in healthcare."
