The document summarizes a study comparing two fishing villages - Change Islands in Newfoundland and Grindavík in Iceland. The study examined how ubiquitous technologies could support and preserve local cultures in these communities. Key lessons included obtaining informed consent from participants, preserving local cultures through technology, and translating embodied skills of fishing into digital formats. The researchers learned their agendas and assumptions impacted the work, and political issues within the communities also influenced outcomes. The goal was to understand how technologies could enhance fishing lifestyles in a thoughtful way.
