I spoke at eComm ( http://america.ecomm.ec ) today.  Another
speaker was Dawn Nafus, a Technology Anthropologist for Intel.
She suggested this website, which pokes fun at the western
preoccupation for fixing the third world (ha ha only serious):

Excerpted from their website:

Dx1W has proclaimed 2010 International Year of the First World
in Need, and has defined four main areas to address:
 Food Production and Eating Disorders,
 Aging Population and Low Birth rate,
 Immigration and Integration to Society,
 Sustainability and Over consumption.

Interesting stuff.  I hope they can help us ...
