Abstract
Before moving to South Africa, I used to worry about interface issues like “How can I reduce the number of key presses to access the menu?” Living in a “Rainbow Nation” of people and the most diverse environment on Earth has helped me see how technology that is truly user-centred can positively impact society. Sadly, it has also shown me that so much of the technology from the developed world is entirely inappropriate for developing economies.
