Abstract

China has experienced three developmental stages in the telecommunication industry since 1949, when the People's Republic of China was founded. Now China has the largest cell phone user market in the world. This paper discusses how cell phones and text messaging have influenced people's daily life and changed their ways of communication and interaction. Given the continued introduction of new technology, and especially the adoption of new, more technologically advanced cell phones, it is likely that more people will adopt cell phones for mobile email. The prevalence of this technology will in turn have an even greater impact on daily life in China.
