Hello Folks,
The Mozilla WebMaker
Field Research Survey was organized by Mozilla Foundation which was held in
Bhiwandi.
The survey was done at
three places namely,
- K.M.E.S School and Jr College for the students
- G.M.Momin Women’s College
- Business Owner
In the school, Laura
and Gauthm Raj proceeded with the survey and asks many questions related to web
and what’s their perception on web. I was involve in taking a Mozilla
session for the rest of the students,
since the school teachers had arranged a lot of students for the survey and we require only few. So, I let the rest of students know the history of Mozilla and how Mozilla
came into existence and also, the power of open web. It was really fun with the
students to let them know about open source.
Thus, we ran a
parallel session where Laura and Gautham conducted the survey and I took a
session on Mozilla.
Later, we went to the college
for the survey for the non-tech IT staff. In the survey,we had a discussion
with the staff related to web. What they thinks and how they use the web. Whether
they feel it more comfortable using the net on desktop or on the mobile. We had a good discussion with the staff. Later we met the college principal
and went for a lunch arrange by them.
It was really a good
experience and fun loving to get actually the students and the teachers view.
Now, it was the time
to meet a business owner. So we went to meet them in a hotel.
Laura started with the
conversation with the business man. The owner of the business “Mr. Aamir Khan
and “Iqram Khan”, let us know they are handling the power loom mills in
Bhiwandi. They told us about the whole procedure and how a cloth is being made from single yarn thread. In the discussion, we
also asked them many web related questions and how they can use the web in
their business.
It was fun asking and
taking notes with them, since the owner of the business didn’t understand
English and Laura didn’t understand Hindi language. So, I was also playing the
role of a translator and in between was asking questions too. Later, the owner
of the business took us to their mill and shown us how a cloth is made. It was
a fantastic experience of seeing the long machines in mill and seeing the process of cloth making.
The survey was really
a fun loving experience where it let us know the actual thoughts of the public.
