Interesting book and concept from Richard Coyne, The Tuning of Place (The MIT Press, 2010):
“How do pervasive digital devices influence the way people use spaces? This book examines the concept of tuning as a way of understanding how people adjust their interactions with one other and with the places they occupy. I propose that mobile phones, smartphones, personal stereos, handhelds, wearables, other pervasive digital devices, and the networks that support them become the means of making incremental adjustments within spaces – of tuning place.”
