Task 6: Mobile Media and Public Space

This is a creative writing post in which to write a reflection about topics discussed in week 9, or to design your own Flash or Smart Mob.
How are mobile technologies shaping modern culture?

Mobile privatisation: (Raymond Williams 1997)
What private actions do you perform in public by using mobile media?
Private mobilization: (Matt Hills 2009)
How do you use your wireless and mobile media day-to-day at home? How has wireless access changed the functionality of how we use our home?

Exploring your mobile technologies, everyday communications on campus:
As you sit in the canteen, cafe, library or elsewhere on campus, look around you and document how many people are on their phones – what do they seem to be using them for?

If you were to organise a flash or smart mob on campus at the University of Worcester what would you do and why? How would you go about organising it and what do you think the reactions might be?

This is one of your blog posts for your Online Learning Journal so it will need to be a minimum of 150 words. Check referencing, spelling and grammar. 

Deadline: Completed and added as a blog post to your blog: 3.00pm Monday 4th April 2011.
