Hidden Pleasures in Products- My Dissertation Title.
October 20, 2007
DISCOVRING HIDDEN PLEASURES IN TECHNOLGOY RELATEDRODUCTS.
An ethnographic study investigating ‘late majorities’ experiences and interactions, with technology-related products in relation to Lionel Tigers framework of pleasure.
I have been working on my dissertation, and have left my theme and topic quite open. I have attached my PDF submission. Watch this space for insights into my ethnography.
Hi Ben-
Saw your response to Geriatric1927 “Help for the Elderly” on YouTube. I am also very interested in this theme, and in knowing more about the EU directive you mentioned. It seems that the Europeans are ahead of us in recognizing that there needs to be more room on Web 2.0 for the elders. The original 2 videos, and the responses such as yours, stimulated my doing a piece tonight on my own blog. I embedded your video and talked a bit about you. Hope you check it out at the URL above. I’m in my final year at Emily Carr Institute of Art + Design in Vancouver Canada.

Hi Ben-
thanks for your comment and the reference to the EU site that describes the legislation for i2010. I just added it to the body of my posting. In the links sidebar I’ve also put another couple of sites I found on the subject, which I found when I did a bit more of a search. Nice to be in touch.
