Abstract
The dynamics of day-to-day interaction are based on various shared norms of conduct. These common rules are intertwined with the moral structures that members of society are expected to follow. In this chapter, we show how a parent’s smartphone use can bring additional ambiguity and difficulty to communicating with his or her child and in fact challenge the conventional normative and moral structures of social actions. Because parent–child interaction is so crucial for the development of children, the challenges posed to it by ubiquitous media devices are one of the pressing issues of our time. In this chapter, we introduce a new concept, namely the ‘sticky media device’, which depicts how a media device appears to a person seeking face-to-face interaction with its user. Hence, it refers to a situation in which problems can be seen in acquiring the smartphone user’s orientation for face-to-face interaction, which, even if momentarily gained, readily returns back to the device.
