移动的和无处不在的计算研究人员早就为发达地区的用户设想了未来的世界。在这些愿景的指导下，他们创新了设备和服务，与个人、团体和社区一起探索替代主张的价值。与此同时，这种激进的长期探索对于所谓的新兴用户来说是罕见的;用户，也就是说，对他们来说，先进的技术是触手可及的。相反，一个驱动假设是，今天的高端移动的技术将在适当的时候“涓滴”到这些用户群体。在这篇文章中，我们开始讨论如果新兴用户直接参与创建他们对未来5-10年的愿景，移动的技术会是什么样子。为此，我们报告了在印度、南非和肯尼亚举办的一系列展望研讨会，为这些地区在未来十年内提供有价值、有效的设备和服务提供了路线图。
Mobile and ubiquitous computing researchers have long envisioned future worlds for users indevelopedregions. Steered by such visions, they have innovated devices and services exploring the value of alternative propositions with and for individuals, groups and communities. Meanwhile, such radical and long-term explorations are uncommon for what have been termed emergent users; users, that is, for whom advanced technologies are just within grasp. Rather, a driving assumption is that today’s high-end mobile technologies will “trickle down” to these user groups in due course. In this paper, we open the debate about what mobile technologies might be like if emergent users were directly involved in creating their visions for the future 5–10 years from now. To do this, we report on a set of envisioning workshops in India, South Africa and Kenya that provide a roadmap for valued, effective devices and services for these regions in the next decade.
