Abstract

In this article I explore use patterns and perceptions of cellphone and smartphone use among Old Order Amish and Ultra-Orthodox Jewish women with participant observations, interviews, and a survey. My findings show that although they differ in their cellphone use (the Amish mostly do not use them and the Ultra-Orthodox only use those deemed to be “kosher”), they concur in their nonuse of smartphones – they see the smartphone as impure. Both view smartphones as undermining social relations and community by distracting users away from friends and family.

“移动互联网比互联网更糟糕；它会破坏我们的社区”：旧秩序的阿米什人和超正统犹太妇女对手机和智能手机使用的反应

摘要

在本文中，我将通过参加者的观察，访谈和调查，探讨老年秩序阿米什人和超正统犹太妇女中手机和智能手机使用的方式和感知。我的发现表明，尽管它们的手机使用有所不同（阿米什人大多不使用它们，而超东正教仅使用那些被认为是“犹太洁食”的东西），但他们同意不使用智能手机–他们认为智能手机是不纯洁的。两者都认为智能手机会分散用户对朋友和家人的注意力，从而破坏了社会关系和社区。
