<P>This book is a critical examination of our everyday mobile technologies and the effects that they have on our thoughts and behaviors. The author presents a comprehensive view of smartphones: the research behind the uses and gratifications of smartphones, the obstacles they present, the opportunities they afford, and how everyone can achieve a healthy, technological balance. It includes interviews with smartphone users from a variety of backgrounds, and translates scholarly research into a conversational tone, making it easy to understand a synthesis of key findings and conclusions from a heavily-researched domain. All in all, through the lens of smartphone dependency, the book makes the argument for digital mindfulness in a device age that threatens our privacy, sociability, attention, and cognitive abilities. It investigates how smartphones can create a dependence that centers on gratification, and it reconciles this by creating a metacognitive awareness for device regulation, and includes interviews with smartphone users from a variety of backgrounds. Written in an accessible fashion appropriate for research and instructional use.</P>
