Exploring Screen Culture via Apples Mobile Devices: Life through the Looking Glass explores the role of mobile technologies in everyday life via the extended case study of Apple’s mobile operating system (i OS) for the i Phone, i Pad, and i Pod. Via a detailed application (including numerous extended examples) of the experiences associated with Apple’s i OS devices, Charles Soukup examines contemporary screen culture and how individuals navigate it via mobile technologies. Mobile devices provide a lifeline that sifts through, limits, and simplifies the complexities of rapid, vast, circulating information in postmodern culture. Particularly, simple, game-like applications with clear rules and numerical outcomes exceptionally focus, frame, and filter an overwhelming media-saturated culture. Rather than merely outlining the problems associated with a world dominated by digital screens, Exploring Screen Culture via Apples Mobile Devices offers a means for understanding screen culture as well as viable solutions to the challenges facing contemporary social life.
