    The Meaning of a Mobile Age: Is It Just Cultural Noise?
    (Passagen, 2006)
    Bertschi, Stefan
    ;
    Nyíri, Kristóf
    Foremost, the mobile phone is a technological artefact, a man-made object created for practical purposes.

The paper's title contains the corresponding hypothesis: The meaning of a mobile age amounts, at the least, to what I will later call 'cultural noise'. But how to approach a hypothesis that even transcends itself, as indicated by the word 'just' and the question mark? In the following, an unusual question is answered using unusual frames of reference.
