Ethnography Ideas



  1. How many students have ever downloaded or still illegally download copyrighted software/music/video? Personal information will be kept confidential.
    (DC++, torrents and other P2P sharing methods? Did you know that Texas A&M has one of the largest shared volume on DC++?)

  2. How many people would prefer an open-source operating system like Ubuntu on their computers rather than sticking to Windows?

  3. Observe how many people at Sbisa (or any restaurant) choose to have healthy food like salads, subs and soups as opposed to eating pizzas or burgers.

  1. Only the third one is even close to an ethnography, but even if that should have you try to integrate more into their community/life style.

    Perhaps for two you could walk around the library and and look at what people have on their laptops and what they are operating off of.

    And for both, I would like to see more interesting results / conclusions come out from your observations.
