本文调查智能手机是否作为多媒体环境（Madianou &米勒，2012），并评估其对跨国家庭的影响。根据对英国菲律宾移民的研究，文章指出，用户将智能手机视为沟通机会的综合环境，并利用媒体中的差异来表达情感并管理与留在菲律宾的家人的关系。对于智能手机用户来说，在线成为默认位置，有证据表明，新媒体成为极端分离情况下关系的组成部分。然而，技术无法克服从根本上说是社会性的困难。此外，这篇文章还观察到，在拥有智能手机的人和没有智能手机的人之间，出现了一种新的医疗鸿沟。
This article investigates whether smartphones function as environments of polymedia (Madianou & Miller, 2012) and assesses their consequences for transnational families. Drawing on research with UK-based Filipino migrants, the article observes that users treat smartphones as integrated environments of communicative opportunities and exploit the differences within media in order to express emotions and manage their relationships with their family members who remain in the Philippines. For smartphone users, being online emerges as the default position and there is evidence that new media become constitutive of relationships in situations of extreme separation. However, technology cannot overcome difficulties that are fundamentally social. Moreover, the article observes the emergence of a new care divide' between those who own smartphones and those who do not.
