hot hot hot

TV2 called me again today, looking for somebody who could talk about children and the use of mobile phones. Clearly mobile phones (which btw is not my main project-focus), IM, online diaries, photo-sharing services ets. are hot research themes, especially from a mass media pov. I said they should talk to Rich Ling though. I have, after all, hardly started my research yet, whereas Rich Ling has been working with these themes since forever, and recently written The mobile connection: the cell phone's impact on society.
