The mobile telephone has had a profound impact on societies around the world, presenting both opportunities and challenges. In an era where knowledge and truth are increasingly contested, this book explores how mobile technology has revolutionized the creation, dissemination, and access to knowledge.
Mobile internet access has surpassed desktop access, with an estimated 6 billion mobile phone users worldwide by 2022. This widespread proliferation raises crucial questions about the origins of knowledge, its sharing and dissemination, and the structural political, economic, and legal conditions that shape access to knowledge.
The practices and power dynamics surrounding mobile technologies vary significantly depending on the specific legal, social, political, or economic context. This book embraces the complexity of these issues, bringing together scholars, journalists, activists, and practitioners from diverse regions to provide a comprehensive and multifaceted account of the changing nature of our access to knowledge.
Through case studies from Hong Kong, South Korea, India, Syria, Egypt, Botswana, Brazil, and the United States, this book offers valuable insights into the evolving landscape of knowledge access. It serves as a crucial resource for students, researchers, activists, and policy makers interested in technology, access to knowledge, communication, social transformation, and global development.
