Abstract

This investigation focuses on people like Gaby, Martin, Émilie and Jean, men and women whose lives are shaped by their transport experience. Their day to day is made real in this graphic novel, revealing to the reader the many forms and perceptions of work-related mobility. Far from usual stereotypes of highly mobile people, this book is a window into the lives of people we see and meet all the time. These slices of life are accompanied by a text written by the researchers who conducted the investigation, providing a scientific analysis of the impact and social conditions of high mobility. The study aims to better understand the lives of highly mobile people in contemporary societies, whose lifestyles combine working and private life. To provide better support for such people, the book concludes with several ideas for developing genuine mobility policies. Businesses and governments have only to seize them.

Mobile phone

A mobile phone (or cellphone) is a portable telephone that can make and receive calls over a radio frequency link while the user is moving within a telephone service area, as opposed to a fixed-location phone (landline phone). The radio frequency link establishes a connection to the switching systems of a mobile phone operator, which provides access to the public switched telephone network (PSTN). Modern mobile telephone services use a cellular network architecture and therefore mobile telephones are called cellphones (or "cell phones") in North America.

Mobile game

A mobile game, or smartphone game, is a video game that is typically played on a mobile phone. The term also refers to all games that are played on any portable device, including from mobile phone (feature phone or smartphone), tablet, PDA to handheld game console, portable media player or graphing calculator, with and without network availability. The earliest known game on a mobile phone was a Tetris variant on the Hagenuk MT-2000 device from 1994. In 1997, Nokia launched Snake.

Mobile technology

Mobile technology is the technology used for cellular communication. Mobile technology has evolved rapidly over the past few years. Since the start of this millennium, a standard mobile device has gone from being no more than a simple two-way pager to being a mobile phone, GPS navigation device, an embedded web browser and instant messaging client, and a handheld gaming console. Many experts believe that the future of computer technology rests in mobile computing with wireless networking.
