Ethnography

My original idea for the ethnography was to compare line efficiency between multiple lines and a single line with then was helped by individual processors. For example, a grocery store where each checker has a line, or McDonald's, where there is just one line, which then whoever is at the front goes to the first available checker. This I decided would be hard to test and compare.

After talking with a few friends, we decided to get together on a group project. We eventually came to the conclusion to do a comparison between computer labs on observing how many people are actually doing work vs just surfing or wasting time. We plan to compare several computer labs at different times, and also potentially the gender of the user.
