Bell and her Hillsboro-based team have cataloged the contents of strangers’ cars to better understand how people use technology on the move, equipped laptop computers with outward-facing screens to encourage people to talk to one another in public spaces, and developed a personal robot that can run apps like a smart phone. The connecting thread of all her work, as Bell puts it, is “the intersection of tech and culture.”</p> <p>Think & Drink sparks provocative conversations about big ideas.</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="http://oregonhumanities.org/programs/programs/think-drink-with-genevieve-bell/1197/">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
