Matti Tedre, Ron Eglash · The MIT Press eBooks · 2008
The study of interactions between the computing environment and cultural societies is called ethnocomputing. This chapter investigates the sociocultural influences on computer science and also discusses the major technical elements in the field of ethnocomputational practice, with illustrations. Furthermore, the chapter explores the research directions and trends of Information and Communication Technology. The authors also focus on ethnomathematics, cellular automata, the famous Simputer project, a culturally embedded computing group, Native American Language Acquisition Toys, and several other project examples.
