Tweetable Description: Getting to know how my mom uses her technology to interact with others and create a recipe that would let her know I’m at or leaving school.

Interview with my mom:
What do you normally use your phone for?

-Texting my children, your grandfather and friends. I also take pictures with it.

Do you like texting?

-It’s okay. I would rather talk to people.

How do you feel when your kids won’t respond to a text?

-Very annoyed because I feel like I’m being ignored.

Would you use your phone to get other things?

-I would, but I choose not to. I might use it more to check for weather updates and if there are sales at Macy’s in the future.

Would you use your phone more if it were able to tell you more about a person you were texting?

-Yes, but I’d be worried of that information was coming from someone else and not the person who owns the phone.

Would you like to know where your kids are if they forget to text you?

-All the time.

My Services:

How they work: My services are triggered when I enter or leave the Purchase campus. Then it sends a message to my moms phone via SMS(Text message) and an E-mail to let her know if I’m arriving or leaving. You can try the E-Mail version out here.

Results: Both E-Mails were sent at the times I entered and exited the campus, but the text message about me leaving the campus wasn’t sent until three hours later.
