for Thursday.

10 minute presentation – onscreen or printed or both, about a direction that your team would like to explore:

for example:

Today it was announced that a French tech company was awarded the contract of running fiber optic internet to Nairobi Kenya – promising inexpensive internet for the public in 2 years. What could Kenyans do with this new ability – how can it be harnessed in homes or businesses or schools? Our team (my fictitious one in this case) will explore how local craftspeople could use the internet in order to stay a viable business and cultural asset (not just ebay) — what could be digital craft…?

or how the UN there could use it to communicate with people in rural villages about health or violence or crime… or — crime report call stations or …

How it could be used to take weapons off the black market

or ….

I know that this is hard. The hardest part that I did not predict, is that many of the concepts that you might have could use the internet but might not require physical interfaces. This is a challenge. We will discuss it tomorrow and stay flexible to change and project concept development.

Good Luck, Matt

P.S. look at lifehacker and instructables – maybe some cheap hacks applied to the right problem could be inspirational.
