Ethnography Ideas

Here are a few enthnography ideas I have been thinking about:


1. Observer the habits of people in coffee shops. Do they actually get coffee or just come in to study? Are they reading or using computers? Are they studying or playing games/watching movies?
2. Observe habits of members of the self proclaimed geek community Cepheid Variable.What kinds of activities are they engaged in? Do the members gather to play games or to socialize? Is there structured meetings or social gatherings? What kinds of habits do they display in groups?
3. Observe the habits of people in various computer labs. Are they working on homework or going to social networking sites? Which ones? Which programs? If they are working on schoolwork for what kind of classes?
