    Abstract

    Drawing upon their long-term research in the Solomon Islands, Inone et al. analyse the sociocultural significance of smartphones in day-to-day life. They underline the increasing salience of smartphones for maintaining family relations, entertainment and education. Their contribution underscores the importance of studying smartphones as “supercompositional”: technological objects around which social and cultural relationships and meanings coalesce.
