It proposes a theoretical framework that enables engineers and interaction designers to develop products that help users to fulfill their interaction needs in this special environment. Put in other words: the proposed environment-sensitive user-centered design framework elicits positive technology for users in developing countries. Adequate methods corresponding to this framework are summarized and effects of positive technology in developing countries are discussed.
