ABSTRACT

New technologies can be positive forces for stimulating change, as well as bringing with them new ethical challenges, and mobile technology is no exception. Ling and Donner (2009) note that the explosion of mobile devices in recent years has created a clash with accepted standards of behavior. One of the problems is the lag between the rapid development of the technology and the more gradual evolution of rules governing its use (Castells, Fernández-Ardèvol, Qiu, & Sey, 2007).
