Japan's enthusiastic engagement with mobile technology has become--along with anime, manga, and sushi--part of its trendsetting popular culture. <i>Personal, Portable, Pedestrian</i>, the first book-length English-language treatment of mobile communication use in Japan, covers the transformation of <i>keitai</i> from business tool to personal device for communication and play.<br /> <br /> The essays in this groundbreaking collection document the emergence, incorporation, and domestication of mobile communications in a wide range of social practices and institutions. The book first considers the social, cultural, and historical context of keitai development, including its beginnings in youth pager use in the early 1990s. It then discusses the virtually seamless integration of <i>keitai</i> use into everyday life, contrasting it to the more escapist character of Internet use on the PC. Other essays suggest that the use of mobile communication reinforces ties between close friends and family, producing "tele-cocooning" by tight-knit social groups. The book also discusses mobile phone manners and examines <i>keitai</i> use by copier technicians, multitasking housewives, and school children. <i>Personal, Portable, Pedestrian</i> describes a mobile universe in which networked relations are a pervasive and persistent fixture of everyday life.

In addition to assessing bonding and bridging social capital, we explore a dimension of social capital that assesses ones ability to stay connected with members of a previously inhabited community, which we call maintained social capital. Regression analyses conducted on results from a survey of undergraduate students (N = 286) suggest a strong association between use of Facebook and the three types of social capital, with the strongest relationship being to bridging social capital. In addition, Facebook usage was found to interact with measures of psychological well-being, suggesting that it might provide greater benefits for users experiencing low self-esteem and low life satisfaction.
