商品描述

Almost anyone with a $40 mobile phone and a nearby cell tower can get online with an ease unimaginable just twenty years ago. An optimistic narrative has proclaimed the mobile phone as the device that will finally close the digital divide. Yet access and effective use are not the same thing, and the digital world does not run on mobile handsets alone. In After Access, Jonathan Donner examines the implications of the shift to a more mobile, more available Internet for the global South, particularly as it relates to efforts to promote socioeconomic development and broad-based inclusion in the global information society. Drawing on his own research in South Africa and India, as well as the burgeoning literature from the ICT4D (Internet and Communication Technologies for Development) and mobile communication communities, Donner introduces the "After Access Lens," a conceptual framework for understanding effective use of the Internet by those whose "digital repertoires" contain exclusively mobile devices. Donner argues that both the potentialities and constraints of the shift to a more mobile Internet are important considerations for scholars and practitioners interested in Internet use in the global South.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

幾乎任何擁有40美元手機和附近行動基地台的人,都能以二十年前無法想像的輕鬆方式上網。一個樂觀的敘述宣稱手機將成為最終縮小數位鴻溝的裝置。然而,獲取和有效使用並不是同一回事,數位世界並不僅僅依賴行動裝置。在《After Access》中,Jonathan Donner 探討了向更行動化、可獲得的網際網路轉變對全球南方的影響,特別是這一轉變如何與促進社會經濟發展和在全球資訊社會中實現廣泛包容的努力相關聯。Donner 以他在南非和印度的研究為基礎,以及來自 ICT4D(發展用的網際網路與通信技術)和行動通信社群的日益增長的文獻,介紹了「After Access Lens」,這是一個理解那些「數位工具」僅包含行動裝置的使用者有效使用網際網路的概念框架。Donner 主張,向更行動化的網際網路轉變的潛力和限制,對於對全球南方的網際網路使用感興趣的學者和實務工作者來說,都是重要的考量。
