What's happening? On your end (the world), quite a bit it seems. As the global north has begun to ease out of financial liability over the last 2 years, the global south continues to experience acute economic issues in and amonst civil society institutions.
That's one way to look at what's happening on your end.
Another way to look at it would be this: The possibilities of mobile technology show strong potential to make life a little easier globally, north and south. Though with highly individualized tools to access this technology, the question arises - in the end, is this helping us interact with one another, or interact with an object?
Strangely, that's roughly the same as what's happening on my end.
I'll soon be planning my field project for GPISH, and it currently looks as though Dar-es-Salaam would provide the most useful base for research. I am interested in examining what factors influence the interaction of information between community-based institutions and youth. Do they share educative data, presentations, reports, and events between each other? If they do, is there a way to track everything? etc.
In the longer run, I'm interested in how the media can mediate platforms where information specific to youth is shared across society.
All that sounds cool with me, but the devil speaks: How do digital platforms help with social interaction, or technological object-based interaction? That's my question of the day.
Otherwise, life is bliss, and I should be more thankful.
