When internet-mediated messaging and social networking applications were introduced in mobile phones, mobile messaging entered a new paradigm. Users can easily create profiles and communicate with other users instantly at anytime of day and anywhere in the world. This paradigm however, has brought forward new privacy issues. Over the course of this exegesis I aimed to explore different aspects of privacy issues related to mobile messaging, including users' awareness and the control of the privacy issues when using social networking messaging. This was demonstrated by conducting a project, which involved development of a mobile phone application and a role-playing game. The project created a frictional scenario of users communicating via mobile messaging. My research revealed that the participants lacked awareness of privacy violations when using mobile messaging, and tended not to modify their behaviours immediately when privacy breaches arose. This research contributes to the existing body of research in the area of mobile messaging privacy, and advocated user awareness of privacy issues in this domain. It could potentially be used as a base for future research.

The research conducted for this thesis was focused on supporting mobile users, developing "bring your own support" solutions in order to ensure that minimum levels of computational support are always available to the user. The first line of research developed ways to minimize the negative social consequences arising from technology use. The second line of research concentrated on garment integrated devices, their use construction, and management of smart garments. The third line of research concentrated on device deployment which are another aspect of the "bring your own support" approach to supporting the mobile user.
