== Classifying Variables of Low Tech Environments ==

We worked to better understand the variables and dynamics of what makes up a low tech environment so that we can better understand how to unpack responsible engagement and ownership with communities in human rights documentation.

<strong>User Variables</strong>
*Literacy
*Language
*Tech capacity
*Accessibility and availability of the tech
*Population density
*Inequities (gender, race, class, etc)
*Opportunity to engage (time, freedom, awareness)

<strong>Infrastructure Variables</strong>
*No internet (bandwidth)
*Cell network coverage
*Physical infrastructure (roads, cars, trains)
*Freedom of expression legally enabling environment
*Bandwidth
*Hardware
*Degree of electrification

==Dynamics that get harder and easier depending on degree of techification of project ==
*Security
*Trust
*Verification of data
*Equity of access
*Safety/consequence
*Informed consent
*Follow-up (growing the community by continuing to engage with them)
