20 世纪 80 年代和 90 年代的许多批评文献中常见的一个观点是，电子媒体极大地（且负面地）影响着我们体验和理解场所的方式。例如，约书亚·梅罗维茨（Joshua Meyrowitz）在他颇具影响力的著作《无场所感》（No Sense of Place）中指出，电子媒体“导致物理场所与社会‘场所’几乎完全分离”。他写道，“当我们通过电话、广播、电视或电脑进行交流时，我们的身体位置不再决定我们在社交中的位置和身份。”这一时期的许多互联网描述的特点是一种强烈的技术助推主义言论，这种言论将这种“新”媒体空间视为与“物理空间”脱节的非物质化空间，一个不受地理和物理限制的无形空间，在更极端的情况下，不受肉体的混乱偶然性的限制。在这些叙述中，地方通常被视为贬义词，作为需要克服的限制。然而，在现有的移动媒体批评文献中，对电子媒体这些“超越”愿景的贬义情绪却远没有那么常见。这也许是因为，与新技术的许多其他方面不同，移动媒体从根本上关注我们的谈判和参与 Meyrowitz
Acommon refrain in much of the critical literature from the 1980s and 1990s has been that electronic media affect dramatically (and negatively) how we experience and understand place. For example, in his influential book, No Sense of Place, Joshua Meyrowitz argues that electronic media “lead to a nearly total dissociation of physical place and social ‘place’.” He writes, “when we communicate through telephone, radio, television, or computer, where we are physically no longer determines where and who we are socially.” Characterizing many accounts of the Internet from this period is a strong techno-boosterist rhetoric that conceived of this “new” media space as a dematerialized space disconnected from “physical space,” a disembodied space free from the constraints of geography and physics and, in more extreme cases, the messy contingencies of the flesh. In these accounts, place is generally cast in pejorative terms, as a constraint to be overcome. Yet, the pejorative sentiments of these “transcendent” visions of electronic media are far less common in the available critical literature on mobile media. This is perhaps because, unlike many other aspects of new technology, mobile media are fundamentally concerned with our negotiation and engagement Meyrowitz
