Editor's Notes
- Hi welcome to my talk: Within this talk I plan to cover three topics that the CHI community is showing increasing interest in: 1.The first Understanding technology use in low-income countries 2. The Second Understanding “techno-spiritual practices” or how information and communication technologies are used to support religious individual’s faith 3. And finally Within the CHI community there remains interest in understanding how the creative design process can contribute to HCI research To address all of these I will report design oriented fieldwork I -with the help of Paul Aoki from Intel Research- conducted in Nairobi, Kenya, last summer. During my time I examined how evangelical Christian’s faith impacted their technology and to use those finding to inform and inspire concepts for new technologies.
