Only one place: the mobile space

Physical living is homogenized. Differentiated living exists only through the cellular network, to the extent that we intentionally craft our mobile phone personas every time we engage in a mobile-mediated interaction.

We can't survive physical living outside the mobile phone, because physical living is now homogenized; it's no fun anymore. If we want to act out different roles, if we want to project differentiated character and emotion, there's only one place were this is now possible: the virtual space of mobile-mediated social relations.
