RE: [Air-l] mobile communication new EU countries (Intern)

Hi, I am aware of two projects that have looked into mobile communication in various Central European countries. These are the EURESCOM P903 project that included the Czech Republic and the EU IST project e-living that included Bulgaria. When you say young people I am not sure what age you are using. Since these were survey projects the lowest age groups were not down into the early adolescent years as I recall. I hope that this helps.

Utopian Shmutopian
by Derek Mcmillan 13 Mar '05

13 Mar '05

Gibson's Neuromancer is a bit of both. I was not chilled by the idea of someone who was already dead being a persona on the internet...I don't believe in any other kind of immortality, One man's dystopia is another man's utopia! Also Johnny Mnemonic highlights the social divisions which he perceived as being exacerbated by technology. Sherry Turkle turned out to be powerfully prophetic in "Life on the screen" when she talked about "RL" being just another window and not always the most important one!
