2. Hosokawa offers an interesting account of how the Walkman emerged through a process of technological reduction, and as such exemplifies the inversion of the logic of technological progress: it is 'a cassette recorder minus the recording function and the speaker. It is technologically a simpler object. ... [I]t represents functional reduction, technological regression'. See Hosokawa, p. 168

6. The method by which this is achieved is not always the same, nor is it always technologically based. In the case of [murmur] and Area Code, for example, the content is not accessed via a location-aware device, instead the information required to access that content (e.g. a telephone number) is only made available at that place

13. Hosokawa, p. 176. More generally it also highlights the way that new kinds of transgression continue to emerge in the use of mobile media, long after the novelty of encountering the Walkman user receded, and what was once experienced as a site of difference and curiosity came to be experienced instead as an irritation and an affront
