摘要

历史学家长期以来一直警告我们，任何关于未来的预测，包括通信技术的未来，都是有风险的。然而，采用移动电话似乎是个例外。这些预测是错误的，只是在另一方面——全球范围内手机的普及速度比预期的要快得多，而不是慢得多。众所周知，手机和设备是人类历史上传播最快的技术。在我为《移动媒体与传播》（Wei，2013）创刊号撰写的文章中，我将以智能手机为先锋的移动媒体描述为一个引人注目的时代。我的意思是，移动媒体的广泛采用和新颖使用不同于任何其他媒体技术。回首往事，飞溅成了海啸。2021年，全球移动用户超过70亿，占全球人口的91.54%。事实上，地球上的手机和设备比人多。

Evolving mobile media: Changing technology and transforming behavior

Historians have long warned us that any prediction about the future, including the future of communication technology, is a risky business. However, adoption of mobile telephony seems to be an exception. The predictions were wrong, just in a different way— worldwide adoption of mobile phones went much faster than expected rather than more slowly. It is now proverbial to characterize mobile phones and devices as the fastest-diffused technology in human history. In my essay for the inaugural issue of Mobile Media & Communication (Wei, 2013), I described mobile media spearheaded by the smartphone as coming of age with a big splash. By that I meant that widespread adoption and novel uses of mobile media were unlike any other media technology. Looking back, the splash became a tsunami. In 2021, mobile users worldwide topped seven billion, accounting for 91.54% of the world’s population. In fact, Earth has more mobile phones and devices than people.
