- Additional information
- Technology innovations are not commonly targeted at emergent users (i.e., those for whom advanced technologies are out of reach). Rather than following the typical procedure of assuming today’s high-end technologies will eventually “trickle down”, we take the unique approach of involving emergent users in creating their future visions. We report on envisioning and co-creation workshops across India, Kenya and South Africa to provide a roadmap for effective devices and services for these regions in the next decade. Our approaches to working with emergent user communities are shaping a new research and development agenda.
