The smart phone as it orchestrates our experience of the landscape

So begins an exploration of the relationship between the smart phone, the urban terrain and humans.  This blog will serve as a public dialogue of how the smart phone aids in our interaction with and connection to each other and the surrounding environment.  It is also the topic for my masters thesis and an arena for my committee members and peers to post comments and give feedback.  Over the next several weeks I will document my progress, the physical manifestation of this thesis will be in the form of walking paths throughout the city of Albuquerque, NM and a visual record of the interactions that take place between myself, the smart phone and the urban terrain...the hope is to garner a deeper understanding of place through this process.
