The document discusses the future of 4G network technology. It explains that 4G will provide ultra high broadband speeds measured in gigabytes per second, allowing users to download movies within 5 minutes or stream high-definition content to mobile devices. 4G will use technologies like OFDM and MIMO to achieve higher data transfer rates and signal quality compared to 3G. Several countries have already launched 4G networks commercially, with technologies like LTE and WiMax supporting 4G infrastructure and providing speeds up to 100 Mbps for downloads. India has begun the process of introducing 4G but may face delays similar to its 3G rollout unless it wants to catch up globally with 4G.
We present results from a qualitative study examining how professionals living and working in Nairobi, Kenya regularly use ICT in their everyday lives. There are two contributions of this work for the HCI community. First, we provide empirical evidence demonstrating constraints our participants encountered when using technology in an infrastructure-poor setting. These constraints are limited bandwidth, high costs, differing perceptions of responsiveness, and threats to physical and virtual security. Second, we use our findings to critically evaluate the “access, anytime and anywhere” construct shaping the design of future technologies. We present an alternative vision called deliberate interactions—a planned and purposeful interaction style that involves offline preparation—and discuss ways ICT can support this online usage behavior.

Iodine deficiency can result from a primary lack of iodine in the diet or secondary causes like high intake of plants containing goitrogens. It occurs most in areas with high rainfall and little ocean influence, where soils are low in iodine. Iodine is part of the thyroid hormone thyroxine, so a deficiency leads to enlarged thyroid glands and stillbirths or weak newborns. Diagnosis involves checking thyroid size, hormone levels, and iodine content of the gland. Treatment requires ensuring newborns suckle and get thyroid supplements or iodine injections, while prevention focuses on adequate iodine in the diets of pregnant and lactating animals.
This document proposes a maturity model for Human Computer Interaction for Development (HCI4D) with 8 stages: Isolation, Exploration, Exploitation, Exhortation, Exportation, Localization, Globalization, and Transmutation. The final stage of Transmutation is hypothesized to occur when people from diverse cultures work together using their own cultural perspectives, allowing for more ideas and solutions to complex problems. Some indirect evidence from studies suggests that considering multiple perspectives can improve creativity and problem solving over using a single perspective. The document argues this diversity of perspectives mirrors advantages seen in nature, such as binocular vision providing a 3D view.

Outernet is a proposed global satellite network that would provide free internet access to anyone in the world. It plans to launch hundreds of small cube satellites into low Earth orbit that would broadcast internet data via WiFi. This would allow anyone with a WiFi-enabled device to access the internet free of charge, even in remote areas without cell towers or internet infrastructure. The goal of Outernet is to make the wealth of online information and opportunities accessible to more of the world's population and provide connectivity during emergencies. It is currently being developed by the US non-profit Media Development Investment Fund and could launch initial test satellites as early as 2015.
A small team at MDIF plans to build a global network called Outernet that provides free Internet access worldwide using a constellation of cube satellites. The satellites would receive data from ground stations and broadcast it to devices via WiFi and existing technologies. This would help bridge the digital divide by providing information to remote areas without cellular or Internet infrastructure. Initially one-way from satellite to user, the goal is eventually two-way global access. The system aims to guarantee universal access to information as a basic human right.

This document discusses the challenges of writing an essay on the broad topic of pop culture. Pop culture encompasses many diverse elements across music, fashion, television, and social media that are constantly evolving. Effective essays require understanding these nuances and trends while presenting a comprehensive and objective perspective. Writers must research the latest developments to avoid topics becoming outdated while also identifying overarching themes without an exhaustive list of trends. Balancing inclusiveness with differing cultural experiences further complicates the task. While navigating these challenges, engaging with society through a pop culture essay can offer rewarding insights into contemporary culture.
The document discusses how anthropologists can contribute to social integration. Anthropologists study human differences and cultural backgrounds to understand how people ended up in their current situations. They then use this knowledge to bridge gaps between marginalized groups and society by engaging stakeholders, providing spaces for cultural expression, and addressing stereotypes. Anthropologists play an important role by bringing more visibility and feasibility to initiatives that integrate minorities through the arts and sharing of stories. Their work involves examining histories, collecting information through interviews, and acting as mediators between people and the resources available to help them feel part of the community.
Deppy Keranidou is a Greek student pursuing a Master's degree in Cultural Anthropology. She is interested in how marginalized groups can integrate into society through creative means like art. Her case study will examine how art can provide minorities and refugees opportunities to express themselves and engage with the community. Anthropologists can contribute by understanding different cultures, bridging gaps between marginalized people and society, and making these integration initiatives more visible and feasible through practices like policymaking, consulting, and engaging stakeholders. The anthropologist's role is to both understand the history and context that led to marginalization, and to facilitate connections between marginalized groups and the spaces and resources available to help them actively participate in society.

Writing an essay on pop culture presents several challenges. Pop culture encompasses many aspects including music, fashion, film, television and social media, making it difficult to comprehensively cover within an essay. It is also a constantly changing phenomenon, requiring the writer to stay current on trends. Pop culture also includes a wide diversity of genres and subcultures that must be balanced. Additionally, pop culture is deeply interconnected with societal issues, politics and history, requiring the essay to explore these connections and weave in broader analysis. In conclusion, an effective essay on pop culture demands an in-depth understanding of its diverse elements and dynamics, as well as the ability to thoughtfully analyze its relationships with culture and society.
The main theme within the Reddit food community is the sharing of different food cultures. Members post photographs of foods from various cultures and share their experiences, which introduces other members to new culinary experiences from around the world. This sharing of food cultures acts as a social catalyst, bringing community members together and allowing them to bond over cultural experiences with food. Introducing new food cultures also generates excitement and makes some members envious of the foods posted. The community operates like an online family, where members seek advice from and provide recommendations to one another about different cultural foods.
This talk was given by Charlie Tims at the 'Megapolis 2025' event in Helsinki. The talk draws on the Demos report 'People Make Places' which looked at the capacity of public space in the UK to foster sharing and interaction between different groups of people.

Expanding Museum People Through Social Media Practice - Monica O MontgomeryMuseumNext
This document discusses issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion for museum workers. It describes how museum workers are organizing collectively through groups like Museum Workers Speak and Museum Hue to advocate for social justice and fair labor practices in the museum sector. The document outlines challenges museums face in giving agency to internal audiences and diverse workers. It also describes how social media and blogging are being used to start difficult conversations and advance thought leadership among emerging museum professionals.
This document discusses pop culture and its influence on various aspects of society. It defines pop culture as ideas, perspectives, attitudes and images that are widely recognized and enjoyed by most people in a given culture, as manifested through various media like movies, music, television, sports, news and technology. Pop culture is determined by industries that disseminate cultural material as well as mass media, but is also shaped by ongoing interactions between these industries/media and consumers. As pop culture permeates everyday lives, teachers must integrate it into their lessons to engage students.
This document discusses some of the challenges involved in writing an essay on the topic of popular culture. It notes that while popular culture encompasses a wide range of phenomena that provide plenty of material to analyze, the breadth of the topic also makes it difficult to decide on a focus and structure the essay coherently. Additionally, popular culture is constantly evolving, so staying up to date is important but adds complexity. Crafting a successful essay requires a deep understanding of popular culture as well as the ability to critically analyze and synthesize information. It also involves exploring the cultural significance and impact of various elements while avoiding clichés.

1. StreetSauce: Taste Interaction and
Empathy with Homeless People
Abstract
Food is an attractive communication tool, which can draw
public attention to various social issues. In our project we try
to explore such an issue over taste interactions and empathy
inscribed in food. We have designed 'StreetSauce', an
interactive service with edible interface that conveys public
engagement in the problem of female homelessness. Within
this paper, we present preliminary results of our research
related to the StreetSauce project. The data sampled so far
come from interviews, participant observation at design
probes, and online questionnaire. We aim to examine the
applicability of food and human-computer interaction (HCI)
convergence for the support of social engagement.

2. Introduction
StreetSauce1
is a collaborative project between a food
design collective HotKarot, and a non-profit
organization Homelike, which focuses on the social
support of homeless women. In summer 2013,
Homelike published their idea to establish a street-food
bistro that would be operated by female homeless
chefs. The HotKarot group joined Homelike in this effort
and brought in a new food design perspective.
At that point, the StreetSauce project, featuring a
menu made of carrot hotdog and data-based sauces
created out of the life stories of homeless chefs, was
born. The technologically mediated sauces that
visualize those stories in an edible form are created
through a software that runs a network text analysis.
StreetSauce data “visualizations” thus create a type of
an edible HCI platform designed to support public
engagement in the issue of female homelessness.
HotKarot & OpenSauce
We started the HotKarot & OpenSauce2
project in 2011,
led by the desire to create new forms of jovial
interaction in the streets of the city of Prague (CZ).
Inspired by the dissident culture forms of resistance
[8], but also by Fluxus and Dada, we aimed to revive
the rather dull and sleepy public space of our
hometown. We have noticed that locals often interact
around the street-food stalls. Naturally, food has
always been a communication trigger that makes
people come together and talk. However, within the
1

busy streets of the city, it was necessary to improve
the attractiveness of the street-food as a
communication trigger. Hence we have created the first
prototype of HotKarot & OpenSauce: a vegan carrot hot
dog served with open source data-based sauces (see
Table 1).
HotKarot & OpenSauce as a techno-emotional food design
conveys a new kind of edible online-offline interaction.
People can create their own recipes in the online
cookbook3
and then taste and discuss their (or someone
else's) sauces at the street stall. The idea of the project is
to utilize food to communicate playful, but also valuable
and meaningful messages. Along with the StreetSauce
project, this idea began to get clearer contours.
StreetSauce
StreetSauce is the latest chapter of the OpenSauce
cookbook. This edition of sauces is made out of the life
stories of female homeless chefs, which we have
collected through the initial interviews. We asked each
of the chefs what their likes and dislikes were, how
they became homeless, where they live etc. Those
narratives were then turned into sauce recipes (see
Figure 1). With each StreetSauce served, each woman
offers a chance to taste her life. Each woman has a
different sauce. Each sauce is based on a different
story. Each story has a different flavor (see example in
Table 2). Taste is one of the closest and most “visceral”
human senses and the sensory stimulation by food is

Table 1: OpenSauce
OpenSauce is an interactive
cookbook. Each ingredient in the
cookbook is inscribed with a
unique color, each color has its
unique RGB number (e.g. tomato
= red = #f05c2b).
The story-based recipes are
generated via a network text
analysis that extracts a given
number of keywords from the
source text. The keywords are
visualised in a network graph,
which is then mapped onto a
color spectrum wheel. Each node
of the graph is thus defined by
unique color, and then translated
into a OpenSauce ingredient.
There is no semantic connection
between the generated keywords
and the names of the generated
ingredients. The whole process is
purposely arbitrary.

involved in communication [10].
The sauce serves as a personalized storytelling
medium; however, it allows the face-to-face interaction
to be less direct at the same time. Each sauce works as
a more neutral representation of the message it carries.
It should make it more convenient for the chef to share
her life story with the public, who would find the story
easier to “digest”. The concept of StreetSauce develops
on the idea of arbitrary data-based cuisine, as there is
no semantic connection between the keywords and the
generated sauce ingredients. Food in general serves as
a familiar tool that is likely to convey social bonding. In
the case of StreetSauce the bonding is supposed to
occur among strangers, over a spectacular food with
unusual taste. Every food could carry different
meanings based on its color, texture, smell, and taste
[10]. The uncertain and random nature of computer
generated recipes that do not follow any existing
culinary recommendations (and let the source code to
“be the chef” instead) then symbolizes the uncertainty
and randomness of homeless life. The StreetSauce thus
conveys an empathy with unfamiliar subject (homeless
woman) over unusual taste of extravagant, yet
inexpensive and accessible food.
All the sauce recipes that are served at the bistro are
printed out on posters that contain both the
ingredients of the recipe and the story that was used as
a baseline. The visitors thus have a chance to
familiarize themselves with it even before they
approach the ordering counter. At the bistro, the
recipes are also accessible via StreetSauce website.
Visitors can browse through the existing recipes, but
also add their own ones and share their personal
stories in exchange.

computer generated recipes symbolizes the randomness of
homeless life.
Context: Food and HCI
The technological spectacularity behind the StreetSauce
is supposed to attract the attention of public audience
that might otherwise not be interested in the issue of
homelessness (e.g. foodies, geeks, hipsters). This new
audience, together with the visitors who are already
involved in the discussed issue, would then create new
fresh ideas and look at the issue from new perspective.
StreetSauce thus embodies a kind of edible HCI design
that works with food rather than for food. While many
existing food-oriented HCI platforms focus on the
improvement of food agenda and promotion of ethical
consumption [2, 4, 7] StreetSauce utilizes food as a
communication tool per se. While this strategy has
already been investigated by HCI scholars as well [1, 5,
10], the utilization of food as a medium to
communicate sensitive social issues has yet not been
widely researched. The aim of StreetSauce is to fill this

for social good”, or, in other words, the position of food
design within the field of HCI4D (Human Computer
Interaction for Development).
Context: Female homelessness
Homelessness is an extreme form of social exclusion
that falls out from the metabolism of the social
ecosystem. Homeless people are largely neglected both
by the major society and governing bodies. They are
not of a great interest to politicians, nor to the
'philanthropic care' of business corporations and
celebrities [9]. As such, they are usually not able to
effectively articulate and promote their interests and
needs.
Female homelessness represents a specific case and is
sometimes referred to as “hidden homelessness” [6].
The term refers to the fact that many homeless women
are not rough sleepers, i.e. they do not sleep directly
on the street without a shelter of any kind [3]. More
often, they have a temporary place to stay overnight,
such as an asylum house or a friend's sofa, or they
would deliberately stay in an abusive relationship to
retain a place to live in.
With the StreetSauce visualization, we aim to make this
hidden social issue more visible for the general public.
The study conducted by Homelike [6] suggests that the
re-socialization of homeless women should be done
through their involvement in collective leisure activities
and volunteering. As the report states: “Those women
are often open for collaboration and sharing. The
collaborative activities should include common tasks
that are familiar to them and that allow them to
express their creativity.”
The StreetSauce design follows this suggestion, while
featuring a platform where the women cook together
and share their stories. They are also invited to be
creative and make new iterations of their own story-
based recipes. Thereby, they can experiment with the
flavors, and also organize their own thoughts about
their life.
Methodology
The StreetSauce research is led by following question:
How can food-HCI design support public engagement in
sensitive social issues?
To find the answer, we began with our research that
has so far consisted of qualitative interviews with 3
partaking female chefs, participant observation at the
single StreetSauce events (carried out as design
probes) and an online questionnaire sent to the visitors
of our bistro. To date, we have conducted 9 design
probes, 8 in Prague (CZ) and 1 in Bratislava (SK). The
settings of the probes ranged from the city street, to
the pop-up design market, street-food festival and a
gallery exhibition.

5. Research carried out and findings so far
Interviews
All the interviewed women, Helča, Zuzka and Eva,
mentioned that communication with the public is much
easier for them when they can offer food. As Helča
stated, food is a “simple and common topic for
everyone”.
Judging by the chefs' answers, the extravagance of the
technologically mediated food was found to have raised
the curiosity of the general public. Zuzka claimed that
people often ask about the idea behind the StreetSauce
and they also want to try out the online app, which is
accessible over the laptop located at the bistro. Eva
said that the unusual ingredients of her sauce raised
many questions: “People are curious about the flavor,
and if they find out that the recipe is made out of my
life, they usually become very interested.” Eva also
mentioned that she feels "empowered" when she can
present the idea behind her sauce. Zuzka said that
some visitors who tasted her sauce started to share
their perception of its flavor and asked, if her life really
was like that. A few visitors even started to share their
own stories with her.
Participant observation
Our observation at the design probes was focused
mainly on the interaction between the visitors and the
chefs. Most of the visitors ordered the food first and
only after that did they start to interact with the
environment. The food thus seemed to be a good
attention trigger, as the visitors usually stayed until
they finished eating, which gave them enough time to
talk and interact with the chefs. Many visitors were
willing to browse through the app opened at the laptop;
however, only a few of them added their own recipe
and shared their story. The majority took a sticker with
the url, and promised to do that at home (from the site
traffic, we can assume that some of them really did).
Almost all the visitors also took a leaflet with
information about the Homelike organization.
Questionnaire
The online questionnaire consisted of 14 questions and
was sent out through our social media and mailing lists.
So far, we have gathered 32 responses but we are still
receiving new ones. The majority of the respondents
stated they did become familiar with the story of the
woman from whom they ordered the food; however,
only 12 of them discussed the sauce flavor directly with
her. Most of the respondents only looked it up on the
posters or at the website. The main reason was their
“lack of courage” to begin the live conversation. This
suggests that the StreetSauce design is likely to
prompt an initial interaction; however, it would need a
longer time to really distort the existing social barriers.
28 respondents said that they were only marginally
familiar with the issue of female homelessness when
they first came to the bistro, and the visit had
somehow elevated their knowledge. Many respondents
were surprised at how “casual” the homeless chefs look
and how capable they are in running a bistro.

Prague
6. A critical perspective and future research
The data we have sampled so far show that food as an
interaction design tool has a potential to attract
attention. The familiarity of food makes the design
comprehensible, while the spectacularity of the
technological element makes it attractive for a broader
audience.
The StreetSauce as a food-HCI design has proven to be
a useful tool for the communication of a sensitive social
issue, as it involves public in empathetic engagement
and encourages a face-to-face experience with the
issue. However, this engagement would need to be
further nurtured to cause a deeper long-term
involvement. The lack of follow-up activities is still a
considerable limitation of the StreetSauce concept and
we hope to develop new collaborations with relevant
social initiatives, which would be able to build on the
initial public interest that we have managed to
establish. For further research by other HCI designers,
we recommend to test the usability of food-HCI
interfaces in the context of other social issues and
geographical settings.

Contribution to the CHI
community
The research we have carried out
so far shows the potential
usability of food-HCI interfaces in
drawing public interest and
sentiment not only to food and
issues of food agenda, but also to
other social problems. The
StreetSauce project broadens the
discursive field of HCI or HCI4D
practice.
