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.

Discussion Outline

User Variables

  • Literacy
  • Language
  • Tech capacity
  • Accessibility and availability of the tech
  • Population density
  • Inequities (gender, race, class, etc)
  • Opportunity to engage (time, freedom, awareness)

Infrastructure Variables

  • 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)
