From September 2005 to June 2006 a team of thirteen scholars at the The University of Southern California's Annenberg Center for Communication explored how new and maturing networking technologies are transforming the way in which we interact with content, media sources, other individuals and groups, and the world that surrounds us.
This site documents the process and the results.

Research Scientist
Annenberg Center for CommunicationI am a cultural anthropologist who studies new media use, particularly among young people in Japan and the US. My research group at Keio University studies mobile phone use, and I am just launching (with Peter Lyman and Michael Carter) a multi-year project on digital kids and informal learning, with support from the MacArthur Foundation. I recently edited a book for MIT Press with Daisuke Okabe and Misa Matsuda entitled, Personal, Portable, Pedestrian: Mobile Phones in Japanese Life.
Professional credentials: a doctorate in Anthropology and a doctorate in Education, both from Stanford. Past workplaces: the Institute for Research on Learning, Xerox PARC, Tokyo University, the National Institute for Educational Research in Japan, and Apple Computer.
