The Korean Thumb Tribe and Other Digital Pioneers
The Finnish Youth Research Society has just published a book edited by Sonja Kangas and written by her and eight other scholars (including yours truly). The book focuses on the digital lives of the youth in Korea, Japan and Finland, three countries that are among the leading information societies of the world. My exploration on "The Korean Thumb Tribe" relies on both quantitative and qualitative data on young Koreans - a group of whom I had the pleasure of working with to observe the mobile communication patterns in Seoul. Please read the abstract below and enjoy the book which is free for all to read.

DIGITAL PIONEERS
Cultural drivers of future media culture
Sonja Kangas (ed.)
Digital media are central in youngsters' lives, both time-wise and culturally - creating meanings, strengthening relationships and pondering values. Digital activities are gaining a bigger share of youths' everyday life. The Internet provides several ways for them to express themselves, find friends or dating partners and likeminded people. It is a mass medium for everyone, providing the possibility of becoming a celebrity, being politically active, joining international networks, watching television, chatting with friends or just spending time online.
It is a channel for expressing where I am, what I plan to do and what type of information or contacts I am looking for.Ten years ago young communication acrobatics in Japan, South Korea and Finland were sovereign, fearless and experimental pioneers of mobile phones and the Internet. Currently youngster's use of digital media has globally been described as snack size or remix culture in that they combine pieces from here and there, follow several information and communication channels simultaneously and utilize social networks.This book will provide an overview of the online life and values of 15-25 year olds in countries that were pioneers of digital services at the end of 1990s and describe the change that has happened within the past 10 years.
Digital Pioneers looks at social networking among the youngsters, covering a wide spectrum of topics from media use, social networking, trust, and friendships to motivational factors. The book also looks at the development of so-called gaming lifestyle. Japan, South Korea and Finland are no longer far ahead of the rest of the world. But do these pioneer countries of the 1990s still have some special qualities that can generate novel digital cultures in the 21st century? Where will the next generation of online brands develop in 2011.
