  cell phone connectivity.  The growth in mobile IT has sparked a change
  in how we communicate with each other (texting to our spouse, child or
  colleague in the next room), our relationships with each other (sending
  up-to-the-minute photos of daily activities to friends), and perhaps even
  impacting how we think (Carr’s theory that Google might be making us
  stupid).  Our mobile IT platform might be isolating us more than
  connecting us (for instance, this is a central hypothesis of Turkle’s Alone
  Together research).  The mobile IT track seeks papers that explore the
