Mobiles Internet im Medienzeitbudget

Smartphones are replacing the previous generation of feature phones with increasing speed. As convergent end devices, they combine the Internet and mobile communications and thus have a potential influence on both interpersonal and mass media communication. Historical developments show, however, that the mere existence of technological possibilities does not automatically condition their use. The present paper therefore examines mobile Internet use on smartphones and its influence on the media time budget in Austria. For example, the mobile Internet on smartphones is predominantly used for non-mass media services, and the most popular functions in connection with the mobile Internet are email, social networks and search engines. This book provides these and many other results.
