In small-group contexts such as a college seminar, a business meeting, a family meal, or a small musical performance, when a person begins texting or interacting with social media on a smartphone he may disengage from the group. When we do find this off-putting, we typically consider it to be just impolite or inappropriate. In this essay, I argue that something more profound is at stake. One significant way in which individuals shape their self-identities is through interactions with others in small groups. Much identity-work is interdependent; it requires generating and preserving social contexts. I argue that the smartphone-use of some individuals can fracture a group\u2019s context and thus negatively affect the identity-work of others. In this essay, I examine identity-work, sociality, and personal technology from a perspective of existential phenomenology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Publication from Tiger Roholt (Philosophy): \u201cBeing-with Smartphones\u201d In Techn\u00e9: Research in Philosophy and Technology In a social situation, why is it sometimes off-putting when a person reaches for his smartphone?
