Thinking about films, as opposed to print resources, I went in search of a film that looks at my research topic and came across this recording: http://resources.ethnosproject.org/indigenous-technology-design-and-its-challenges-2/
I think I will be able to glean some information from this film.
Description:
“While many well meaning efforts bring technology design to bear on problems in developing economies, such as Google People Finder, One Laptop Per Child, etc., fewer efforts involve local participants or settings in the design process. I share some of our work on collaboration with youth, NGOs, and technologists in India, Nepal, and Bhutan, and highlight some of the challenges in trying to create indigenous design capacity in places like these. I explore an ecological metaphor of ‘invasive and non-invasive species’ for different types of technology in new settings, with an eye towards discussing what makes a technology ‘invasive’ and how healthy technological ecosystems might be developed.” (taken from website)
