From: David Nemer <[email protected]> I'm currently in Vitoria, Brazil researching the use of digital technology by the people from the favelas (slums in Brazil). The focus of me dissertation research is Telecenters and LAN Houses in the favela of Gurigica.
I was recently chosen by Google to purchase the Google Glass. This gadget could contribute immensely to my research due to its easiness of collecting sound and pictures. Carrying around a digital camera and a voice recorder has been quite risky since favelas are zones of high crime and theft. Google Glass is more subtle and small, which could call less attention than carrying cameras and recorders around. My budget for this research is very limit, and I can’t afford the Glass on my own, and for that I ask for your help! Any contribution is very welcome! http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/google-glass-for-research-in-the-favelas/x/2566404 Thanks -- David Nemer PhD Candidate in Social Informatics School of Informatics and Computing, Indiana University Editor of the Social Informatics Blog - http://socialinformaticsblog.com http://www.dnemer.com [email protected] -- Too many emails?
