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):
http://designforthefirstworld.com/
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 ...
