how do cell-phone shape our behavior?
* being late is easier, text msg / call to inform the waiting one( or change plan at the last min)
* breaking up with out meeting in person ( or do something else important)
* no talking to "unknown" people anymore, like the brother/mother of the girl you are pursuing
* check up your cell phone constantly become normal behavior, whether there is important agenda or not.
* always concern about the signal, trying to get signal all the time( elevator, tunnel, subway)
* the boundary between private and public is vaguer than before, especially when someone ignore the "polite protocol" of using cell phone and force others to share his conversation
* the default status of your phone should be "ON"
* people get stressful when others left their phones ringing without picking up( either don't have the knowledge of putting it to vibrate mode or simply left their seat without carrying it)
* interrupt the on-going face-to-face communication and cut-in
* call more than once when we fail to reach someone( stronger urge or the higher expectation?)
* pretending having a incoming call or a on-going call to avoid some other undesirable interaction/situation
* assume everybody listen to their voice-mail constantly ( get pissed or surprised if someone doesn't)
* prepare more than one number to separate private and business
* ring once and expect the receiver to call back
* use cellphone to take picture/video and sent to friend
* tend to take the call even when you are not well-prepare to
* some trust issues are being amplified(check on your husband by keep calling)
* kill the uncertain/vague/imagination between people, trace people down( hey, its me, where r u?)

Time you DONOT want to be connect/ DONOT want OTHERs to be connected

* when u about to get laid
* in a class
* in a library
* in an interview
* in an argument
* when your hands are full
* while watching movie
* when you about to sleep or doze off
* when on vacation
* when you are going to have a overhear problem(bus, train, elevator, also dont want to hear other people's story)
* when you are in the bathroom/toilet
* church
* funeral
* any form of ceremony
* midnight
* a call from your annoying client
* when you having an affair
* when you really prefer to keep silence
* when you simply want to be alone

Timing you feel paranoid/anxious about cell-phone

*trying to get signal but cannot, especially when other people can
*brother by other people's conversation, getting too much information/ noise while wanting to be quiet
*

The requirement & the main purpose of my project

What is the main purpose?? 01 to provide/bring back some analog choices that we don't have in current cellphone-communication process. 02 to put an emphasis on emotional needs/actual needs, try to propose some potential solutions to these user's needs, see if the technology can provide any form of help instead of constrain. What is the requirement for my project to be successful? 01 user study....I need more people's real life experiences to tell what are the most common seen emotional needs 02 prototype..... to make my project/proposal easier to understand by providing the visual of the scenarios.

Mobile Awkwardness Jason Tseng Niplus777@gmail.com Abstract In this paper I will discuss the pervasive awkwardness and tensions brought by the omnipresent usage of mobile phone, and propose some simple solutions to these phenomena. As the technology progressing, mobile phone developers tend to integrate more and more new features and functions such as camera, touch screen, mp3 players or the capability to connect to internet, into current cell-phone, but very few efforts were put into reviewing the psychology aspect of the users and the emerging and existed emotional needs caused by the relatively new form of communication. Although there are lots of researches focusing on the social phenomena and social impacts brought by mobile phone, the results seem to have very few influences upon the development of cell-phone. My intention here is to highlight the most often seen emotional needs pervading in modern communicational process, mainly focusing on the process of “using cell phone to ta
