What role does technology play in inspiring social
innovation?Dr Mark Lochrie
@marklochrie
“digital social innovation is a type of social and collaborative innovation in which innovators, users and communities collaborate using digital
technologies to co-create knowledge and solutions for a wide range of social needs and at a scale that was unimaginable before the rise of
Internet-enabled platforms”
www.nesta.org.uk
“a social innovation is a novel solution to a social problem that is more effective, efficient, sustainable, or just than present solutions and for which
the value created accrues primarily to society as a whole rather than private individuals”

Tamagotchi
The Tamagotchi (たまごっち?) is a handheld digital pet, created in Japan by Akihiro Yokoi of WiZ and Aki Maita of Bandai. It was first sold by Bandai on November 23, 1996 in Japan. As of 2010, over 76 million Tamagotchis have been sold world-wide. Most Tamagotchi are housed in a
small egg-shaped computer with an interface usually consisting of three buttons, although the number of
buttons may vary.
