- Exercise 4 (19/10): How can ethnography be applied to researching ethnocomputing?
Through this exercise, I know exactly what is the ethnography concept. I do not confuse it with phenomenography.
Solution:
Ethnography is a qualitative research design focused on exploring cultural phenomena and ethnocomputing is the study of the interactions between computing and culture. People of each country have different styles of using computing, so the way in which computers are used is considered as culture. Therefore, we can apply ethnography to find out interactions.
For example, we can conduct interviews to explore:
- How many hours people use computers everyday.
- Do people prefer emails to traditional mails?
- Computers really help people relax?
