Most of the issues that I think are important to address have come from our guest speakers.

1. Neighborhood separation - It's awesome that Drexel wants to collaborate with the Powelton/University City neighborhood. It seems, from what we've heard, that the community - especially the business community - welcomes our presence. But is the idea catching on with Drexel students? I'd say that it's an oral legacy that the "safe zones" on campus extend only to 36th Street to the west and Spring Garden to the north. Also, I can't stop thinking about the bar at 39th and Chestnut, Drinkers West. It's rumored that the "college nights" and use of college IDs to avoid a ridiculous cover have intended to drive out the local crowd and draw in the university crowd. Can we effectively reach a state of collaborative existence with (seemingly) deliberate efforts to keep the college population and the local population separate?

2. Digital divide - our project is based on the use of smart phone technology. Super cool. How can we avoid/overcome the fact that access to smart phone technology is a pre-requisite for experiencing this project? Who is our intended audience for the project, and are we effectively reaching them with our approach to this project?

3. How will this project benefit Drexel? I still don't have a clear understanding of the details, but it seems like this class is more than just an interesting special topics class. From what I can tell, someone in Drexel's administration wanted us to do this. What were they hoping to get from it, and are we delivering what they expected? How important is it that we deliver what they expected?

4. Earlier in the term, we touched briefly on how the potential of this type of technology could in some ways be used in ways that scare us, threaten our privacy, etc. Does our project and efforts like ours redirect the potential to show that good, creative, cultural things can come out of it all? Or are we just facilitating the mainstreaming of it, which may lead to its use in ways with which we are uncomfortable? (I think we're redirecting and exploring the potential, but I think this is an interesting thing to talk about when working with a new technology.)

5. That's all I've got for now. I'll come up with another tonight.
