Digital exhaust and mobile communication scholarship: Pursuing the Ling connection
Rich Ling was among the first media scholars to recognize the vast scientific potential of behavioral data stemming from mobile and Internet use. His engagement with such data, that is, digital exhaust, extends back to the early 2000s, when he was a researcher with an international mobile network provider. Open-minded and with a strong curiosity drive, Ling joined forces with the company’s data scientists. This started an interdisciplinary dialog…
Emergence of scaling in complex substitutive systems
Safety, sensemaking, and solidarity
On July 22, 2011, at 15:26, a radical right-wing Islamophobe, Anders Behring Breivik, detonated a bomb in the city center of Oslo, Norway, and then killed 69 people and wounded 60 others before the police were able to arrest him on the island of Utøya. This chapter analyzes anonymized mobile phone traffic data in Oslo and around Norway to understand Norwegian mobile phone communication behaviors and see if and how people activated their social ne…
Mapping poverty using mobile phone and satellite data
Poverty is one of the most important determinants of adverse health outcomes globally, a major cause of societal instability and one of the largest causes of lost human potential. Traditional approaches to measuring and targeting poverty rely heavily on census data, which in most low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are unavailable or out-of-date. Alternate measures are needed to complement and update estimates between censuses. This study de…
Small Circles: Mobile Telephony and the Cultivation of the Private Sphere
This article examines how we use mobile telephony to maintain our physically and socially closest social circle. The analysis is based on traffic data gathered from Norway using approximately 24 million calls and texts made by private individuals. Previous research has shown that our temporal and spatial movement is highly predictable and that the majority of calls and text messages are sent to only four to six different persons. This article ext…
Small and Even Smaller Circles: The Size of Mobile Phone-Based Core Social Networks in Scandinavia and South Asia
Previous research in developed countries has shown that mobile phone users call and text to a relatively small circle of people. Research from the Global South indicates that core network size is often larger than in the developed world since the logistics of daily life require extended informal logistics. This suggests that the core social network, as seen in the use of mobile voice and texting, will be larger in developing countries than in dev…
