A case study approach will be used to focus upon each example with the goal to illustrating ways that software is being applied to manage ordinary problems and things. Cartographr is an app designed by Colin Gagich who is an engineering student at Mc Master University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Cartographr was designed to track and assist people with disabilities to navigate their way around physical spaces. The app can be downloaded free of charge to any mobile phone. Cartographr applies a site map and icons: Accessibility Alert, Official Alerts and has a Crowd Sourcing feature. The goal is to provide immediate information to users in order to ensure personal safety and easy access to all buildings within the Mc Master University campus. RubberEIS is a concept initially imagined by a Thai student Premchai Kongtham who earned his Bachelor in Computer Sciences at Kasetsart Univeristy in the Sakon province. He grew up in a family who have many rubber trees. His concept was to build a prototype allowing a device to measure the humidity and send a message including the ideal time to farmers on their smartphones / GSM phones early in the morning to start harvesting.
