5. CONCLUSION
In this paper, I have taken an interdisciplinary reading that
covered several concepts that influence user behaviour of
mobile phones in the rural indigenous context. The findings I
have presented here are no doubt preliminary, further and more
in depth research is needed to better understand the implications
for HCI and technological design for particular cultural
contexts. The emerging agenda of neo-liberalism and its
influence over consumption practices and shifts in social
organization and the salience of social capital in reading social
networks have illustrated certain contexts and structures that
suggest underlying approaches to reading user behaviour, as
well as communication needs and interests. The use of mobile
phones pose strong possibilities for their role, not only as
consumerables but as effective tools that provide and enable
extension and support within the social formations in particular
cultural contexts.
