Abstract
My technical work and my STS research are related through their shared interest in mobile application technology. My technical project describes the implementation of a mobile application that provides connected transportation services at crosswalks, which could greatly increase the safety and efficiency of surface transportation. My STS research explores how the biasing of modern product design towards app-based solutions affects sociopolitical progress. Mobile technology is ubiquitous and software engineering is both costly and time consuming. Thus, it is important for engineering teams to understand the possible effects of a mobile application solution when solving a problem so that they can properly gauge whether or not it is the best route to pursue.
