"Mobile phones evoke not only technical capability or freedom of movement but intimacy and portability, defining a personal accessory that allows constant social connection"
Ito, Matsuda, & Okabe, 2005
The Japanese term for mobile phone, keitai roughly translates as "something you carry with you”. The concept of Keitai is to be able to carry your family with you.
