Abstract: With the development of smart phone function, mobile phone watching has become the most common daily life situation in modern society, and an important channel for people to obtain information and to construct connections with the external society. In this context, the theory of “mobile privatization” catches more attention, and shows the deeper cultural meaning and situational paradox behind it, that is, the collision and expansion of mobility and privatization, the sustaining and retreat of social life, the increasing ambiguity of public and private spaces, and the coexistence of personal privacy and sharing of information. This gives us a deeper understanding of modern people's attachment to this mobile privatization and look forward to owning the world through privatization.

Key words: mobile society, mobile phone watch, mobile privatization, social alienation, physical experience
