Example text

In Chapter 5, “Online place attachment: Exploring technological ties to physical places,” Raz Schwartz uses the concept of “place attachment” to examine the tensions and implications of local connections between people and places. He uses Foursquare as a case study to investigate the digital elements that help to connect people to specific locations, and why people feel an intimate attachment to specific places by using location-based technologies. Incorporating offline experiences such as place-naming, ownership, and celebratory events, online place-making also includes extensive documentation, collective attachment, and mutual connection, all of which could be seen as performances of what Ling understood as digital Gemeinschaft.

We could, for example agree to have a business meeting when the sun is at its highest point (and check this by looking at the shadows), or agree to meet clients at about half-way through the morning. Clearly, these approaches are far too loose. In addition, they would not fit into a society that is structurally aligned to the system of clock-based time-keeping. Thus, the technology enables our activities, but it also constrains use. Cell phones and digital Gemeinschaft 27 Transport, coordination and communication in the digital Gemeinschaft It is worth thinking about one last dimension of social mediation technologies and their role in the maintenance of the Gemeinschaft and for that matter in the Gesellschaft, namely that technologies can develop a symbiotic relationship.

The car, now supplemented by the mobile phone, is becoming a structurally embedded element in our organization of daily life. Conclusion Mobile communication is both a control technology and a technology that facilitates the Gemeinschaft. It is also being woven into the very structure of daily life. It gives us a freedom and it makes our coordination more efficient, but from a social perspective, we must have a mobile phone. We accept it at the personal level because it facilitates our lives. Not to have it, however, is to not completely participate in society.
