But the approach of Y2K ignited fears beyond date-confused computers鈥攊t marked a sharp downturn for U.S. manufacturing, especially in Rust Belt states like Wisconsin. From 2000 to 2004, we lost 90,000 manufacturing jobs in this state alone, but the numbers held steady from 2004 to 2008. Then the recession hit and things really went south. But starting about three years ago, some of these jobs started to come back from overseas, spurred by economic incentives and growing support for American products that reflect high quality over high volume. There鈥檚 even been talk of the manufacturing industry leading U.S. economic recovery, but some analysts remain skeptical. The return of manufacturing jobs stateside met a blend of challenges and opportunities: A skills gap between available industry jobs and properly-trained workers to fill them hampers progress, but advancements in technology like computer numerical control, or CNC, systems and 3-D printing create new pathways to innovation. Even in Madison, a city often seen as more of an academia than industry hub, there are signs of a manufacturing renaissance.

Follow the Sheep project involves following shepherds and their (mostly black) sheep,

in the Deccan areas of Karnataka and Andra Pradesh. Shepherds are non-literate in general. And
 +
the nomadic shepherds travel about 400 kms over a range of 6 to 8 months with their herds. They
 +
are in small groups of 3-8 family members. Every few days they migrate to another location that
 +
can feed their sheep. When in a location, they are often in a farmers land after having negotiated
 +
a trade for feed in return to the sheep manure (night droppings). During the day they can graze
 +
part of the farm (as per negotiation) and take the sheep to other grazing areas which are often
 +
common property reserves, and to areas where there is a water body. Most shepherds have mobile
 +
phones and horses or donkeys (and camels as we go north). They use these phones, when there is
 +
signal, to talk to people back home, and sometimes to coordinate shepherding activity.

Alipi

Alipi - Re-narration Web.

Over 10% of India (120 million) have accessed Internet by December 2011 where 90% of these 10% are from urban areas [iamai]. Mobile penetration, however, has reached 900 million Indians in 10 years. Due to the proliferation of mobile devices in remote areas [iamai] and the smart phones becoming affordable [aakash], Internet access by rural agricultural and pastoral nomads is becoming a reality. While Internet accessibility groups have developed authoring guidelines and standards for "disabled" Internet users, they do assume that such a user is a (considerably) literate person. What would it be to provision Internet accessibility to non-literates?

We explore re-narration as a basis for ”designing Internet for inclusion.” In the renarration model, any web page or even an element of it can be /re-narrated/, to make it accessible to a target audience of users in a completely decentralized way. The notion of re-narration is completely general. It could, for example, mean translating a page automatically to another language. Or it could mean creating a more accessible version of a technical document, even if it is in the same language by an expert for a layperson. 

   See the dev2013.org program re-narrated to some Indian language contexts.

Or see http://mitan.in/bcp/raika. More examples at Alipi

Technically, Re-narration Web is effectively a social semantic web. The "alipi.us" (the non-literate us) can be seen as a third party service that is served by collecting the "narration" type semantic tweets on the Web. Such "tweets" are a result of someone re-narrating some content for a specific community context.
