The somewhat over the top title of the article is &#8220;The world&#8217;s a cell-phone stage: The device is upending social rules and creating a new culture&#8221;. Of course the article goes on in using the usual terms like: &#8220;revolutionary&#8221;, &#8220;seismic cultural shift&#8221;, &#8220;new realms&#8221;, &#8220;upending existing social rules and creating a new culture &#8220;, etc. Some brief comments by Howard Rheingold and Paul Levinson. Last alinea kinda interesting:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Your phone is you<\/strong> The negative perceptions about bad cell phone use suggest that the way we use our cell phones can have a strong effect on how others perceive us. In the Cingular Wireless survey, more than one-fourth of respondents formed opinions of someone based on their ring tone, while 7 percent have ended a relationship due to rude or offensive wireless behavior. In the BBDO Worldwide study, 31 percent of Americans said a cell phone revealed as much about a person as their car. &#8220;Cell phones are now just like your clothes,&#8221; said Clifford Nass, professor of communications at Stanford. &#8220;It&#8217;s a very personalized thing. The assumption is you can wear anything you want, so this tells you something about me.&#8221; The cell phone still has a long way to go, said Levinson, in transforming our lives. &#8220;It&#8217;s still early,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Television has been here 50 years, computers 25 years. The cell phone is still in its infancy. Every sign indicates it will continue to be hugely important to us.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"syndication-links\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Via the mobile-society@groups.l.google.com mailinglist) The SFGate has an article dated February 27, 2006 about the impact of the mobile phone.
