After conducting our first ethnography trial, we decided to change our idea. Our original idea was to do sort of a "text-while-walking" type of scenario. With the prevalence of phones, especially smart-phones, we wanted to examine how people used them and how they were seen in public.
We had trouble coming up with solid, concrete data. Observing subjects was tough, as the way people use cell phones is very different. We tried to stage scenarios in which we walked-while-texting and ended up just running into people and almost breaking our phones.
In the end, we decided that this study would be boring and not draw any relevant or practical conclusions.
