An Oldy's Lament: Poem of Resistance and Resilience of the 'Othered' in Technology Colonisation
Open accessAbstract
The poem 'An Oldy's Lament' was written by Julie Butler, an 86 year old creative writer. Julie describes her personal reflections on technology and society, while at the same time questioning her part in this seemingly pre-ordained arrangement of the technological world, as technology colonises societies. We analyse this literary expression from a postcolonial perspective, discussing how the 'othered' of innovation bring to the fore pertinent issues that need overcoming in both HCI research and the community at large.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
