Culture Connect was the thesis I wrote that led to the completion of my Master of Arts in Applied Media at Swinburne University of Technology. It examines how culture has influenced the take-up of mobile media services in Japan, and asks why the situation has played out differently in Australia. Departing from Paul Levinson’s idea that the mobile phone will become an archive of every user’s most important information and memories (the ‘mobile hearth’), this work will examine the culture surrounding the use of the mobile phone, and specifically mobile media services, in Australia and Japan.
And I proof read this thesis!
Wow, what a hero!!!!!!
