That was very amusing.
I never had a conversation with an ethnographer before today. I mentioned in my last post that I had to do an oral interview with one of ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mdlbear's cow-orkers and had to write a 5 page paper.
Here's what happened: I walked into the office and we talked for a bit about penguin mints, computer technology, cell phones, and a few other things. During the actual taping (which took place after the random banter), I recieved a lot of interesting answers and recieved 4 writer's blocks after questions that I couldn't follow up on. I wound up running in circles, making allusions to Regan's "Model Minority" comment and adding a few things to it, talking about comparisons with education here and in Bejing (where she studied as a foreign exchange student), and several other points. The last few minutes of the interview I was telling her my experience growing up in the "Digital Generation" with the evolution of cassette tapes to MP3, the evolution of a type-writer to a Fujitsu S series 6000, and other things that have changed drastically.
The full text of the interview will be available on GC once I get it typed and after the due-date.
