Last class we had a couple students come and talk about their human issues study. They studied the use of technology -- specifically cell phone use -- in Mexico. It was interesting for them to compare and contrast America's use and accessibilty to cell phones compared to Mexico. While we have many competing companies to choose from, Mexico only had two companies. Although they were limited for options, they apparently have the best coverage compared to the US. Cell phone reception could be recieved at any location, at any time, and have not interruptions in between. And because they began to use cell phones and put up towers recently, Mexico is starting their technology when most bugs have been fixed and so they don't need to do any up-grading.
The presentation was about the human issue of technology in another country, but I really liked that they included their experience in Mexico and the children and people they got to know while working at the school.
