A word from the author
The "world seen through smartphones" varies from person to person. This book mainly targets the "digital native" generation of high school and university teenagers, attempting to explain how smartphones and social media, which have become "commonplace," operate and shape the social image they build.
We hope that not only the younger generation but also many people interested in the modern media environment will read it.
