Among the great papers at Digital Youth East Asia was one by Sophia Tsuey-Jen Wu, Director of the Center for Media Literacy and Education at National Chengchi University, Taipei, Taiwan. Using her thirteen year old daughter and her daughter's friends as her subjects, and their social circle in Taiwan as her field site, Wu discussed creative ways youth use cell phones for subjectivity and intersubjectivity and also for creating shared memories----even in circumstances where they might not actually all be at the same event.
