Mobile Politik

Im Rahmen der ISSEI 2000 beschreibt Richard Ling in diesem Paper, wie sich das Mobiltelefon auf vier etablierte Institutionen auswirken wird. Neben Bürokratie, Bildung und der Jugend entwickelt Ling auch eine Vision für eine neue, mobile Demokratie. Seine Arbeit stützt sich dabei auf grundlegende Untersuchungen des Nutzungsverhaltens gegenüber mobiler Kommunikation in Norwegen.

This paper is an examination of the impact of mobile telephony on four social institutions. The institutions are democracy, bureaucracy, education and also adolescence. The material considered here draws both on the existing literature of mobile telephony, qualitative work carried out in Norway and also quantitative analyses from Norway. The analysis shows that the more direct communication provided by the mobile telephone will likely have impacts on the level at which communication takes place within the various institutions, the ways in which pattern maintenance activities take place and also in the independence of the actors within the institutions.
