The result from our Cultural probing session came back not all as hoped for and expected. From this we learned that everything from our background to the exact words we use, have a great effect on the result.
All of the pictures we recieved from the elderly people contained artefacts of technological character. We hoped to get a more realistic and natural view of the lives of elderly people, but it is clear that they wanted to show us excately what technological and communicational equipment they can operate and use.
It was not all a waste, but we are planning to execute yet another cultural probing session – this time with a more precise assignment.
