title = "Mobile phone: A tool for expressing co-actualisation",
abstract = "In this paper, we present an overview of the data collected from field studies of mobile phone use by Malaysian women who live in the United Kingdom. Through the data, we suggest that these women use mobile phones to help them coordinate activities in their everyday lives. Such practices, we claim, shape the way they are living in this everyday world. Their apparently mundane phone-mediated activities help support their everyday life activities, and these activities can help them become actualised in what they are potential. We found that their mundane phone-mediated activities are for other people as well - how they help support the need for self-actualisation of other people.",
