Abstract

In this paper we discuss smartphones in Bauman's liquid modernity and present what we understand to be the communication paradox of 21st century: at the same time that it is hyperconnected, there is a condition of enclosure of users in personal media bubbles. We propose a classificatory system based in immediacy and connectivity to evaluate how apps address these characteristics.
