Innovations in mobile interface design: Affordances and risks

Mobile media ecology has raised fluid parameters to configure online communication, mainly altering space and time dimensions and, as a consequence of the alteration, the delimitation of the public, private, intimate, and personal spheres dichotomies. Due to this liquid media ecology, full of affordances and risks, Academy has delved into the main areas of tension to be dealt with: the creation of the profile, the digital identity, the different kinds of social media networks, big data, and the digital path. As a result of conclusions obtained from the EU Feder project, Public and private in mobile communications (2013-2015), we propose an international ethics code for the interface design of apps, webs, and platforms for mobile devices due to their challenging, intrinsic, and specific features and characteristics.
