How You Respond Is Who You Are – Katrin Verclas

If you saw the E72 unboxing you would know I’m working with Nokia on their Responsiveness campaign. Essentially, my group and I are being posed questions in an attempt to elicit imaginative responses. The hope is our responses will parallel the innovate work of the people or actions in our prompt. In this case, we have to respond to the amazing work of Katrin Verclas, a social entrepreneur working to improve the world using mobile technology.

Katrin runs mobile active, a nonprofit organization that aims to use mobile technology to help those in need. All around the world different members of the organization develop and use mobile solutions to solve problems. Some use the technology to find jobs for “slum dwellers” while others use it politically to elect officials to office.

Our response is open ended and doesn’t have any particular guidelines or restriction. How would you respond? I’m interested to see your reactions to these unique uses of the same technology we take for granted each day.
