New paper on adaptation of “smart phones” among Danish Youth.
Troels Fibæk Bertel and I presented our paper “From SMS to SNS: The Use of the Internet on the Mobile Phone among Young Danes” at the NordMedia conference in August. The focus of the paper is on the adaptation and use of the internet on mobile phones among young Danes. The analysis builds on qualitative and quantitative data from a pilot study conducted among students at the IT University of Copenhagen in spring 2011. The findings from this analysis are discussed theoretically and compared to other studies, mainly the Mobile Media, Mobile Youth study from spring 2011. The starting point is that the spread and frequency of the use of the internet on mobile phones has increased rapidly and over a short time primarily along with the adaptation of smartphones. We find that the main argument for using the internet on the mobile phone is that it is possible, easy and convenient with the proper handset and subscription. The main arguments for not using the internet on the mobile phone are that it is not possible due to handset or subscription limitations, that it is too cumbersome to be practical or too expensive to be worth it. Altogether we conclude that we are studying a phenomenon in the making with changing patterns and perceptions of use, and that further studies are needed in this area.
