Document Summary
Technology crafts for the digitally underserved - involves an act of repair or making that uses easy to nd and low cost parts/ equipment. It interrupts standards of digital culture, it"s about the fastest and most e cient, dazzling gadget you can have. But, 2 3rds of the world can not reach the most basic standard of these technologies. Not a silicon valley standard , theres di erent levels of standards (cheaper vs. more expensive forms of technology). Technology crafts are non-institutionalized: an informal education system is built around technology crafts. Silicon cottage industry : new paradigm of production that harkens back to pre-industrial revolution and in small digital shops. Educators or health care takers don"t need to have the very best of technology to be empowered, that"s why theres the silicon valley, for a inclusive society. Was inspired by an arcade roller-ball, ipped upside-down so the ball faced downwards.
