7:34 pm
modern technology. modern life hasn't entirely pasta him but people buy. and the remote north of namibia they use mobile phones though often with difficulties. to get on the phone i want on the we want to. know when you go yet. apart from us to him because we're for. life in the plains in the heels of the land region is little changed by time.
7:35 pm
and you. are fiercely proud of their traditional way of life but their remoteness and independence also make it very tough. so could in life really help this ancient tribe. 800 kilometers south and a world away from the him is finda capital. and at a restaurant on the outskirts of town members of windows small tech community are making plans. is an entrepreneur who develops software applications for mobile phones he's always up for a challenge and there are a few tougher than designing a life app to help the him. dalton's enlisted lawmaker. who is studying software engineering is the future but i'm just reading it will be the 1st time that i've
7:36 pm
met him but people in their homeland in north west in namibia we are way into trouble over that. 800 kilometers from here. to go there we have a weak economy and the human community going to interview them on what to use and how they use them to what extent i don't know how or what i put myself into but. i'm up for the challenge when to do. i know that we. kept telling her. coming. here to.
7:37 pm
share my knowledge and you discovered a. secret that was on to. 12th i was drive through window is open for the commercial center of cocoa that. cool cool and is the ancestral home of the him but people often here in towns a trait. they. don't an endemic meet up with ben do it i mean to him bita. as volunteer youth activist who will be the gite and i think you are going to get me. a quick tall full pool this feels whole life is changing for the him although him as they're often called. most him by men and women in the town have mobile phones. got the right one i. don't think i'm one of them.
7:38 pm
but i'm going to miss the been. the one. who how i'm from around them what i want to do to people not to go to one of the illinois that holds the us we've got hold of them and already we're moving on about your working with you at the moment. but when that's going. to. make wants to know how they can help women and how often i will buy a phone i don't think they're going to do that although i think that. if they need someone having one in giving that ending up on all that on a good night it is that whatever they. are called in the void on the double knowing the anyone that will find a. little money on the day that they don't want to get into them and that's the
7:39 pm
exact truth either but that one must look at them that way but. you know something . that would mean that we're going to call you we don't need a member of the getting on my guard and. that would be good and. the only one who was on the boat will get you would only one woman and i think with her already i'm with them. dalton can already see possibilities for their life at sea if we did something like that. but i'm going to set you right down. may be to just be something that's going to be used down a demo board over 100000000 but definitely both versions are likely to last maybe. a couple.
7:40 pm
of my. says huge scope to help but they are still unclear on exactly how the him but lives and how they use technology. meaning. doing so dalton steam sets out for the formal pool to also mature a village over 200 kilometers along the dust rolls. along the way they have a chance to find out why so many him bhai literate things to think learned. in school a kind if not. on some palate. they didn't find it in the. book to put it on. because they don't want to see it went yesterday after the good morning. to you.
7:41 pm
say quite how they travel. peaceful different from the city like. some just. south of nature. we. are going to stand on until we set it up any. better garden has been too many people. you know. do you know provides a chance for ventura to share his experiences of heading cattle and how him but children help out with a move on in a huge and measured up moment which meant that if they believe. on race up on it's not with me. most of my anger and it was in my living over you know when young
7:42 pm
all when you take off for one week. end up on been that you know me i wouldn't be no. old human being you're not going up way up and you know me oh no no me i'm you know. yeah. in this remote landscape maybe a life that could help money to the water in the away says vital for him by who lives here with their cattle. and also for another tribe the overhead in.
7:43 pm
africa but dalton in lima don't know if there's even a mobile phone signal here. time to check. that. dalton's team want to know more about how the human lives in the away says. they soon realize the burden of virtually all activities lies on the women they care for the children cook for the family help tend to the animals and even builds their houses. there is less here right here with. us getting back to. us. but if we should we are having. and the most let's begin say this was like in lines in some elephants and something
7:44 pm
you have been here. we need to watch our phones and network here everywhere to call something supposedly. and candid like the air you guys and the people i don't hear read gelman week indeed don't know yeah yeah began to descend on talk about scams but not like. illiteracy patchy phone signals nor smartphones it will be tough but dalton has some ideas a couple of things that came to my mind but i don't think it's final say when is the need for some sort of tracking device. when is the need to communicate instantly much but i think it's going to use network computing. if you don't want to make
7:45 pm
a big to see you. know i think this might as it is something. like a little places that you work 200 meters i mean given the circumstances it's been like. we have to work with what we have what we spoke to a couple of people to gather information but i just feel of the moment. probably of us willing to. spend 1st post. i would say we have a lot to learn from this people that the city received. over. taken by material. as you. saw dalton steam drive on to the most remote him both village they can find. much. thanks it's just another 5 kilometers away but they can only drive at walking pace.
7:46 pm
in cheetah they are more cattle than people. maybe helping with cattle is the best use for a mobile phone at. home owned by them when the human and when we don't in the mean and in. my head. i do the move money. and he said they did it. with a good many things and be. careful of them but you know you know if you have it you will end up going on i didn't you would think over of all it would have been ever you look you know. what i'm going to go to. so basically the kids don't go
7:47 pm
to school they go in a uterus but. then you don't really go with you over to where you. are not it goes but you. know it was going to you know we do with the i don't. believe it was funny you know we have them we haven't yet. maybe in life app that can track cattle is what the human need. to be doing it to be when you get in that movement of the kids throughout their forty's you know what you basically need to do is just opened their petition. and then you'll be able to see all you look at what is young i see but when you get a bigger beginning the number you see is them are you moving. on with my own
7:48 pm
without you know we don't know what would you try and use. their education certainly that would be the most basic food pyramid we can do to an intimate if you pretty much you have to do. but dalton in la makes phyllis to hard working women who should have the final word . time to discover if the women can read text on their mobile. phone for me as opposed to the woman from the black community go to school. so candy even read. like my never going to hear. overgenerous people. question can i pretty. well known going to heaven
7:49 pm
with the approval you military. you. know. they want to see you for there's been. you have them many of them i mean you want a human and they want to move your band a little. humor the way your body you know a little bit. now you know what you're missing doing them but. we do and i have been a. himbo women may have to wait days to find somebody who can read text messages for the. challenges even more daunting than expected don't have to develop
7:50 pm
a life app that's both helpful and practical. they'll try and work something out back you know poor after a night of celebration. just to have the safety as it's all about communication and connectivity we fortunately have. very limited connectivity. that's one of the challenges that we've faced you know we've. got. something usable and sustainable so that's one of the challenges and the challenge that we have these probably to find
7:51 pm
a champion to take this up once we develop it we're going to channel through to the rest of the community. i'm an optimistic person. back in town. still thinking about a life to track cattle but it may not be as easy as they hoped for. did you. try. this. so this.
7:52 pm
so. to do. so it was. determined to come up with their app in the north so they can field test it while they're still here. we. had been up the whole night basically. 2 things were a list that would linger on. from the data collection from the human or where they were looking at tracking at folk at their one was. made. but we know really down to some sort of mathematical ed. they
7:53 pm
can lead to count. as we develop the realistic. leno conan but then release from the book and read so he will be something that translate the. the 2 voice the team comes up with an app that turns any text into speech. they've developed a rough prototype on a smartphone but their idea is intended to work on a simple 2 g. phone just like those they him by use. it's a brain waves if illiteracy is the problem using the app to overcome the literacy. he managed to come up with is i love my voice so how does the prototype. step one copy the message that she wants to understand. the steps to open the app.
7:54 pm
step 3 paste a message into the app. pressed of voice button to hear the message. this. is not after maybe we can it can be moved to become african also like to get in we just if somebody is missing is this movie put in there and the reason this is for. testing is. the team drive to a nearby him. to test the i love my voice life at. dalton
7:55 pm
and want to get feedback from the humor women. we have lessened some of the problems that they experiencing with. s.m.s. for example. playing around with some solution for the mobile that enables for example the phone to read the text to them especially when the kind read for them please i given this. one all say for them listen i said i take it. you can have it . when i know that see a 1000000 is an s.m.s. i thought. there were no moon and i saw some of this. yeah and say she can read no all she has to do is to put it that i thought that's the voice. we had up on number. one and. only got one on
7:56 pm
ones when. we got on one of them you thought the not enough. time while going to ha. yeah don't. oh. yeah don't want. nobody ever that would want to. know. how would. you. know what changed if. we basically when it comes. to see.
7:57 pm
you i should wish i hope we take some. you. still trying to perfect the i love my fois app. they want to find a way of translating him back into text. and this still looking for champion to develop their ideas. their time with a year is evidence that technology in their right hands can haunt even the most traditional way of life c. mobile technology. leading the way in the digital revolution.
